<p><a name="index-single-character-constant-166"></a><a name="index-character_002c-single-167"></a><a name="index-constant_002c-single-character-168"></a>A single character may be written as a single quote immediately followed by
|
|
that character. Some backslash escapes apply to characters, <code>\b</code>,
|
|
<code>\f</code>, <code>\n</code>, <code>\r</code>, <code>\t</code>, and <code>\"</code> with the same meaning
|
|
as for strings, plus <code>\'</code> for a single quote. So if you want to write the
|
|
character backslash, you must write <kbd>'\\</kbd> where the first <code>\</code> escapes
|
|
the second <code>\</code>. As you can see, the quote is an acute accent, not a grave
|
|
accent. A newline
|
|
immediately following an acute accent is taken as a literal character
|
|
and does not count as the end of a statement. The value of a character
|
|
constant in a numeric expression is the machine's byte-wide code for
|
|
that character. <samp><span class="command">as</span></samp> assumes your character code is ASCII:
|
|
<kbd>'A</kbd> means 65, <kbd>'B</kbd> means 66, and so on.
