Imagine you removed a parenthesis at the end. Would you even notice? It&#x27;s not compact at all, and there are fewer visual cues.<p>Infix notation works better when it is applicable. Limiting the number of parentheses is also best when possible.<p>You <i>can</i> add parentheses and make it less compact if you want. You could theoretically write c=sqrt(axa+bxb) as:<p><pre><code>    c =
        sqrt(
            ((a *
                a) + 
                (b *
                    b)))
</code></pre>
But that&#x27;s just ridiculous.
