The problem was, whether it's ok to put unnecessary parentheses around expressions in general. The consensus that time was that more parentheses than necessary are harmless. But only using parentheses when necessary assumes everyone who reads the code knows all the operator priorities by hearth. Priorities of C operators are not simple, and very few people could write down the whole table from memory. Omitting parentheses can worsen readability of the code significantly for some people, while adding more do not harm anyone. So in short, IMHO there should be the least amount of parentheses that everyone is comfortable with, not the least amount possible. -- Jirka Z.
