Literals are constants.
literals are used to store constant values which are not changed even after program execution
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.
there are three types of constants in COBOL 1. numeric literals 2. figurative constants 3. non-numeric literals
xy+xy'

A literal is either a variable or a negated variable.
Examples of literals are: 1 3.14159 'c' "Hello world"
In BASIC programming, the basic language units include keywords, variables, literals, operators, and expressions. Keywords are reserved words that have special meaning, such as PRINT or INPUT. Variables are used to store data, while literals represent fixed values, like numbers or strings. Operators perform operations on variables and literals, and expressions combine these elements to produce a value.
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.
