# Result

Forces everything so far in the expression to be worked out before the rest of it runs.

| Expression        | Databox value | Result |
| ----------------- | ------------- | ------ |
| `- 1 Result * 20` | `3`           | `40`   |

Read that example as: take the number of fence posts (3), subtract one to get the number of panels between them, then multiply by the unit cost of 20.

Without `Result` the multiplication would bind tighter than the subtraction and the answer would be `3 - 20`, which is not what was meant. `Result` is the substitute for a pair of brackets in a position where brackets are not available.
