## Syntax

Before we go anywhere, we should know on the basics of using the bot

{% hint style="danger" %}
Please don't type **< >, \[ ], { }, ( )** in your command. These are just a placeholder for the command
{% endhint %}

#### These are the five different notations that you need to keep track of:

**<**&#x4D;arcation&#x73;**>** : This represents that the function inside its boundary is ***NECESSARY***\
\
\&#xNAN;**\[**&#x42;ig Bracket&#x73;**]** : This represents that you need to ***CHOOSE*** one option from the given options inside it \
which are splitted by **|** symbol\
\
\&#xNAN;**{**&#x43;urly Bracket&#x73;**}** : This represents that any functions inside its boundary is ***IGNORABLE***\
\
\&#xNAN;**(**&#x53;mall Bracket&#x73;**)** : This symbol is used to organize the functions properly like you've probably seen when solving a simple math problem. **Ex**: `(5 - 2) x 3`
