Hey! My calculus teacher said hed give extra credit for someone who figred out what } symbol is called. I really need to find it out and I know someone on here has to know. I looked in the dictionary and a bunch of other places but that was of no avail.

Thanks

According to my AP programming class, it is called a curly brace.

try "curly bracket" or "curly brace" in http://google.com
That's sure to give you some answers.

And what the hell? I wish my teachers gave EC at all, yours do just for knowing pointless crap.

Haha, in spanish "{"it's called "llave"; "[" means "corchete" and "(" is "parentesis" Go and suprise your damn teacher with that!
