And this is why I mentioned that if you print 1/3 it prints (1/3) so
that we can continue typing + (2/3)

No, not at all:
1/3 + 2/3
"(7/9)"
These are all just binary messages evaluated left to right, like this:
((1/3) + 2)/3
"(7/9)"
That is why you need the parenthesis in certain contexts.
Now adding two of them is definitively wrong.
(1/3) + (2/3)
"1"
(The first parenthesis are not needed, btw).
