Literal Constants

A literal constant is an entity with a fixed value:

    +12345     ! INTEGER
    2.         ! REAL
    1.0        ! REAL
    -6.6E-06   ! REAL
    -6.6D-06   ! DOUBLE PRECISION
    .FALSE.    ! LOGICAL
    'Mau''dib' ! CHARACTER
    "Mau'dib"  ! CHARACTER

Note,

• there are only two LOGICAL values;
• integers are represented by a sequence of digits;
• reals contain a decimal point and can be represented in exponential form
• reals and integers may contain + or -.
• character literals are delimited by the double or single quote symbols, " and ';
• two occurrences of the delimiter inside a string produce one occurrence on output;
• there is only a finite range of values that numeric literals can take.
