I've seen a lot of times using return value in parentesises -
{
....
return (true);
}
What's the reason for this? Can smb explait it?
PS: they do return predefined values, not calculated like returd (I*(d/4))

There's no technical reason. In some cases it can increase readability,
but that's pretty rare IMO.

Michael,
I seem to remember very old C compilers (around 1974-75) that required these
parentheses, check for instance: http://www.lysator.liu.se/c/bwk-tutor.html
For me, there's no reason for using them today.

no reason at all, probably it's auto generated code, I frankly doubt
somebody owuld do it like that manually

Basically, because it makes return look like a function. Note that in C
(and C++ and therefore C#), most constructs look like functions:
if(...)
while(...)
for(...)
One should note the in C/C++ there's no reason to wrap parens around the
operand of the sizeof operator -- still, most poeple do, because they think
of it as a function.
int l = sizeof long;
int i = sizeof(int);
This is noteworthy, because it C# cousin, typeof, *does* require parens,
even though there no more of a need for it then there is on sizeof or
return.
Type T = typeof(System.S tring);

I'm a game developer programming mostly in C and ASM for about 7 years.

He explained that "return" is not a function but a stament, like I

static void (DEVICE_REQUEST)(void);
What does this line declare in C?
I am always meeting some codes like this,but I have never learnt that
before.
It looks like a declaration of a function,but why DEVICE_REQUEST has to
be quoted by ( ).
Anyone can explain that to me? thanks a lot!

Hope you can help. I have been using the code below to move elenents around
the page. This has worked fine until I put some arguments into the functions
so I could use them in many places with out having to create lots of
slightly different functions. The code that has now stoped working is below.
My javascript is not great and I have been struggling with this all day. Can
anyone see where Ive gone wrong
Thanks
