If statement problems

Using Arduino Programming Questions
#1

Hi
I have started a piece of code to use for a project but upon creating an if statement I got an error message

if (digitalRead)stopU) == LOW) {
^
exit status 1
expected ';' before ')' token

in this code

#define CW 7
#define ACW 8
#define switchA 0
#define switchB 1
#define stopU 2
#define stopB 3

void setup() {
  // put your setup code here, to run once:
  pinMode(CW, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(ACW, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(switchA, INPUT_PULLUP);
  pinMode(switchB, INPUT_PULLUP);
  pinMode(stopU, INPUT_PULLUP);
  pinMode(stopB, INPUT_PULLUP);
}

void loop()
{
  if (digitalRead)stopU) == LOW) {
    digitalWrite(CW, HIGH);
  }
}

It is probably obvious to you but it has stumped me
Thanks for the help

if (digitalRead)stopU) == LOW)

Should be

if (digitalRead(stopU) == LOW)

Take a look at the supplied examples in the IDE!

Yep sorry I just saw that
Arduino error message wasn't clear to me.
Thanks for the help

The caret in the error did give it away.
