8-bit unsigned integers can use an alternative literal notation that
is useful when working with ASCII character codes. Printable
character codes can be denoted with 'c'
.
Non-printable characters can be expressed using escape-sequences. The allowed sequences are:
\n
New-line character (ASCII 012).
\t
Tab character (ASCII 011).
\\
The backslash character.
\[0-9][0-9]?[0-9]?
Character whose ASCII code is the specified number, in octal.
Examples:
'o' '\n' '\t' '\\' '\0'
The type of a character literal is always char
, aka
uint<8>
.
