1.6 Character Values

HLA lets you declare one-byte ASCII character objects using the char data type. You may initialize character variables with a literal character value by surrounding the character with a pair of apostrophes. The following example demonstrates how to declare and initialize character variables in HLA:

 static    c: char;    LetterA: char := 'A'; 

You can print character variables use the stdout.put routine, and you can read character variables using the stdin.get procedure call.
