One way to "explain" it: You would not write unary minus on the previous
line:
double minusOne = -
1;
Similarly, before one has become used to this (arbitrary) rule, this is as
strange:
double xMinusOne = x -
1;
[A rationale for writing parenthesis on the same line is that you can figure
out more quickly that it is a method call, rather than a reference to a
variable.]
