can someone explain me why we use parentheses around conditions in javaScript : **can someone explain me why we use parentheses around conditions in javaScript**

for an example if we take the below code Ex:

**if(5 > 4) {}**
----------------

in the above code i need to know why we use parentheses around the **'if'** statement's condition we can just use the below code like

**if 5 > 4 {}**
---------------

but why do we include parentheses around the **'if'** statement's condition for what purpose do we use it is it just to seperate the condition and the **{}** block of the if statement or what
