This is too basic I think, but how do both of these work?
return true; // 1
and
return (true); // 2
Similar: sizeof, exit
My guess:
If return was a function,
1would be erroneous.So, return should be a
unary operatorthat can also take in brackets... pretty much likeunary minus:-5and-(5), both are okay.
Is that what it is - a unary operator?
