format for writing up an if statement with 2 conditions, one of which consists of 2 subconditions

[yxz152830]

Gurus,
If I want to write an if statement which logic goes like this: if A or B then ...
B consists of say a=1 and b = 2.
So the statement looks like this:
If x=1 or a=2 and b =3 then
how do I write it in VBA. It seems like the above statement is ambiguous. It can be read as x or (a and b) or (x or a) and b.

Hello! Parentheses are used for spaces or arguments in group reasoning, especially for overriding the default operator precedence order in a complex expression. I. e.

Sub ParenthTest()
Dim a%, b%, c%, d%
    a = 2
    b = 3
    c = 7
    d = b + c / a: MsgBox d ' result - 6
    d = (b + c) / a: MsgBox d ' result - 5
End Sub

So it's better to put parentheses once more than to omit them.
