Literals

The term literal refers to expressions that encode a value for a given type.

The available literals are :

• Integer literals : 2, 782, 1000
• Floating point literals : 1.2, .3, 4.
• String literals : 'Hi !', "How are you ?"
• Boolean literals : true, false

Literals can be used as part of expression, and composed using operators. Those operators and their precedences are the same as in C-like languages.

// Floating point multiplication
println ("1.0 * 0.34 = ", 1. * .34);

// int substraction
println ("1 - 2 = ", 1 - 2);

// int logical expression 
println ("1 < 2 = ", 1 < 2);

// Boolean logic
println ("true and false is ", true && false);
println ("true or false is ", true || false);
println ("not true is ", !true);
