Literals

Literals represent a value that is stored in variables directly in the program.For example 
int x=234;
here values in the right side are called literals because these values are stored in the variables in the left side.As we have discussed earlier that there are different data types.So there are following types of Literals-

• Integer Literals
• Float Literals
• Character Literals
• String Literals
• Boolean Literals 

Integer Literals
It represents fixed integer values like 100,22,33.For example
int x=34;
Float Literals

It represents fractional numbers like 22.456, 32.006.For example

float c=44.66f;

Character Literals

It represents character values like a,b,B,'D'.for example

char ch='A';

String Literals

It represents String values like "hello","Anil".for example

String s1="Hello";

Boolean Literals 

It represents only two values either true or false
