Hello, I am wondering if these({}, [], ()) have their own name within the context of equations like this {[2(2+3)] +4}+2.
I know they can be called 'brackets', 'parentheses', or 'braces', and I cannot really find anything on Google as a set name for 'all of the above'. I need to group them under an enum and I am wondering what would be best to call that said enum within Mathematics.

Thanks for any help/advice you can give. 😄

brackets, parenthesis, and braces are called grouping symbols in some schools/countries

#

but grouping symbols may also include the fraction bar, absolute value lines, and radical symbol
