4.7 Literal Constants

A literal constant (also known as a literal or in some other documents as an immediate value) is a value that represents itself, such as 12, 3.14, or "hello".

The assembler supports several types of literals:

• Binary integer literals
• Octal integer literals
• Decimal integer literals
• Hexadecimal integer literals
• Character literals
• Character string literals
• Floating-point literals

Error checking for invalid or incomplete literals is performed.
