Explanation

Parentheses () are used universally across programming languages to enclose the input parameters or arguments of a function - for example, greet("Alice") or add(2, 3). Brackets [] are used for array indexing or list literals, not function calls. Quotation marks "" or '' delimit string values, not function syntax. Curly braces {} define code blocks, object literals, or dictionaries.

Memory tip: Think of parentheses as the function's "arms" reaching out to receive what you hand it - you always pass something into the function through ().
