Including brackets inside text function

Question

I am having a programming function with name WorkFunction_(). I am trying to highlight this function using \texttt{}, something like \texttt{WorkFunction_()}. However this ends in error.

Could anyone suggest an alternate for this?

@cmhughes more likely close as dup if you can find it (must be one somewhere:-) — David Carlisle, Mar 02 '14 at 23:34
You might also consider using \verb here instead of \texttt. — John Kormylo, Mar 03 '14 at 00:12

I just realized that a \_ is needed to produce _ inside \texttt{}. The problem is solved with \texttt{WorkFunction\_()}. Note the \ before _.

There are at least two other options: \verb+WorkFunction_()+, or load underscore and use the normal underscore without need to escape it: \usepackage{underscore} and then \texttt{WorkFunction\_()}. – Gonzalo Medina Mar 02 '14 at 23:34

\textttt is irrelevant to the problem, you need \_ (or some other command) anywhere in LaTeX to get _ – David Carlisle Mar 02 '14 at 23:35
@DavidCarlisle: Thats a valid point actually :) – SKPS Mar 02 '14 at 23:36
