    When is f[x] preferred over (f x)?

    For your particular example there’s little difference and I’d go with whichever is clearest given the context. e.g. If you already have lots of parentheses, square brackets may be easier to distinguish.

    (2*3+(f[x]%2))
    vs
    (2*3+((f x)%2))

    In general I recommend these style guidelines:
