The second one is more readable. The third is unnecessary. The first works just

I have a tab delimited list where item 4 is a number and I'm adding things up.
What is considered best practice when doing this?
add item 4 of line x of tList to tRunningTotal

add (item 4 of line x of tList) to tRunningTotal
or
