The mikroBasic PRO punctuators (also known as separators) are:

- [ ] – Brackets 
- ( ) – Parentheses 
- , – Comma 
- : – Colon 
- . – Dot 

Brackets 

[ ]

indicate single and multidimensional array subscripts:

dim alphabet as byte[30]
' ...

alphabet[2] = "c"

For more information, refer to Arrays.

Parentheses 

( )

are used to group expressions, isolate conditional expressions and

indicate function calls and function declarations:

d = c * (a + b)          

' Override normal precedence

if (d = z) 

then ...      

' Useful with conditional statements

func()                        ' Function call, no arguments

sub function func2(dim n as word)' Function declaration w/ parameters

For more information, refer to Operators Precedence and Associativity, Expressions,
or Functions and Procedures.

Comma (

,

) separates the arguments in function calls:

Lcd_Out(1, 1, txt)

Furthermore, the comma separates identifiers in declarations:

dim i, j, k as word

The comma also separates elements in initialization lists of constant arrays:

const MONTHS as byte[12] = (31,28,31,30,31,30,31,31,30,31,30,31)
