Can you explain how this expression follows the grammar of the lambda calculus?
$$\lambda x.x((\lambda y.yy)x)x = λx.x(xx)x$$
I am not sure why we have the parentheses following the $.x$ (on both sides of the equation).

Can you explain how does this expression follow the grammar of lambda calculus?
$\lambda x.x((\lambda y.yy)x)x = λx.x(xx)x$
I am not sure why we have the parentheses following the .x (on both sides of the equation).
λx.x((λy.yy)x)x = λx.x(xx)x$\lambda x.x((\lambda y.yy)x)x = λx.x(xx)x$
λx.x((λy.yy)x)x = λx.x(xx)x
