Hi there,

I have this piece of code and i don't know how it works

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
    int numero = ({const int i = 10; i+10;});

    printf("%d\n", numero); // Prints 20

    return 0;
}

Why if i delete the second part (i+10;), the compiler gets an error? Why are the brackets necessary?

Thank you ^^!
