-It is down to the judgement of the developer where and when to use this method to improve code readability as it is debatable what is an improvement and what is a hinderance. Here is an example where it might be wise to use bracketing.
+Bracketing also affords us the capability of creating unions within a statement block where the block will be checked as a whole. Such as this example below which will return true if both ($a == 3 and $b == 4) are true and $c == 5 is also true.

 <?php
-$a = 3;
-$b = 4;
-$c = 5;
