Lexical conventions
Table of contents
Lexical elements
The first stage of processing a source file is the division of the source file into lexical elements.
A lexical element is one of the following:
-
a maximal sequence of whitespace characters
-
a word
-
a literal:
-
a comment
The sequence of lexical elements is formed by repeatedly removing the longest initial sequence of characters that forms a valid lexical element.
