Parentheses can also be used to change the usual order of evaluation of an expression as determined by precedence and grouping(associativity). Consider the following changes in the example above: .

There are also a number of functions provided by the math library. To access the functions in your program you must include math.h at the beginning of your program. Each of the functions takes one or more parameters of type double and returns a value of type double.
