<p><a name="index-character-constants-140"></a><a name="index-constants_002c-character-141"></a>There are two kinds of character constants. A <dfn>character</dfn> stands
|
|
for one character in one byte and its value may be used in
|
|
numeric expressions. String constants (properly called string
|
|
<em>literals</em>) are potentially many bytes and their values may not be
|
|
used in arithmetic expressions.
