Constants
Numbers
Numeric constants are accepted in three forms:
•
Decimal. For example, 123.
•
Hexadecimal. For example, 0x7b.
•
n_xxx where:
— n is a base between 2 and 9
— xxx is a number in that base.
Strings
Strings consist of opening and closing double quotes, enclosing
characters and spaces. If double quotes or dollar signs are used within a
string as literal text characters, they must be represented by a pair of the
appropriate character. For example, you must use $$ if you require a
single $ in the string. The standard C escape sequences can be used within
string constants.
Boolean
The Boolean constants TRUE and FALSE must be written as {TRUE} and
{FALSE}.
Characters Character constants consist of opening and closing single quotes,
enclosing either a single character or an escaped character, using the
standard C escape characters.
