The program takes the quantity represented by A and performs all of the followi

• Multiply A by itself.

• Calculate the cosine of A.

• Calculate the sine of A.

• Add the cosine and the sine together.

• Multiply that result by the square of A.

Here are some examples of the uses of brackets:

Brackets are worked out before any other operations are performed.

Use brackets to force the result you want, and also to clarify a calculation.
