Tips for golfing in Mini-Flak What general tips do you have for golfing in Mini-Flak? I'm looking for ideas which can be applied to code-golf problems and which are also at least somewhat specific to Mini-Flak (e.g. "remove comments" is not an answer).

Please post one tip per answer.

Mini-Flak is just Brain-flak without [], &lt;...&gt; or &lt;&gt; so tips for Mini-Flak are different for a large amount of problems. However the use of brackets like [...] are allowed.
Zero efficiently

The &lt;...&gt; from Brain-flak is missing so it is often required that you replace it with something else.

The two following snippets do just that:


(...)[{}]
[(...)]{}


However when you are zeroing it is important to select these properly, because there is a lot of golfing that can be done that can't be done with Brain-Flak's zeros.  For example the following Brain-Flak code:

({}[()]&lt;({}())&gt;)


Could be reconstituted as

({}[()](({}()))[{}])


However it is cheaper to do

({}[()(({}()))]{})


You should try to combine your negative with as many other negatives in the scope as possible.
