A literal is the source-code representation of a value of a primitive, String, or null. The Java Language Specification defines the lexical structure used for IntegerLiterals, FloatingPointLiterals, CharacterLiterals, and StringLiterals:

 IntegerLiteral:                                        see Java Language Specification... FloatingPointLiteral:                                  see Java Language Specification... CharacterLiteral:                                      see Java Language Specification... StringLiteral:                                         see Java Language Specification...
