The literals with single quotes are Characters and can have a width of only one. Ex: 'y' or 'a' etc
Strings cannot be declared using single quotes. They have to be declared with double quotes.
Literals are constants.
Yes. A single-quoted literal must be a valid character (byte or char) type. It is not a String type. There is no such thing as a single-quoted String literal. 'A' - evaluates to the primitive char type "A" - evaluates to a String type 'ABC' - causes compiler error because it isn't a single character
literals are used to store constant values which are not changed even after program execution
there are three types of constants in COBOL 1. numeric literals 2. figurative constants 3. non-numeric literals

A literal is either a variable or a negated variable.
a string constant
Examples of literals are: 1 3.14159 'c' "Hello world"
An identifier is a sequence of characters used to denote one of the following:Object or variable nameClass, structure, or union nameEnumerated type nameMember of a class, structure, union, or enumerationFunction or class-member functiontypedef nameLabel nameMacro nameLiterals (C++)Invariant program elements are called "literals" or "constants." The terms "literal" and "constant" are used interchangeably here. Literals fall into four major categories: integer, character, floating-point, and string literals.A literal may be any of the following:integer-constant character-constant floating-constant string-literal
Variables, Literals, and Named constants.
Character literals in Java are stored as UTF-16 Unicode characters. Each character takes up 16 bits of memory, allowing for representation of a wide range of characters in the Unicode character set.
Literals are the values assigned to variables. int num = 10; Here 10 is the integer literal.
