Constants

There are several kinds of constants, as listed below.

Hardware characteristics that affects sizes are sum­marized in #2.6.

Integer constants

An integer constant consisting of a sequence of digits is taken to be octal if it begins with 0 (digit zero), decimal otherwise. The digits 8 and 9 are not octal digits. A sequence of digits preceded by Ox or OX (digit zero) is taken to be a hexadecimal. Hexadecimal digits include a or A through f or F with values 10 through 15. A decimal constant whose value exceeds the largest signed machine integer is taken to be long; an octal or hex constants are taken to be int.

Explicit long constants

A decimal, octal, or hexadecimal integer constant im­mediately followed by 1 (letter ell) or L is a long constant.

Character constants

A character constant is a character enclosed in sin­gle quotes, as in *x'. The value of a character con­stant is numerical value of the character in the ma­chine's character set. Character constants are taken to be int.

Certain non-graphic characters, the single quote and the backslash \, may be represented according to the following table of escape sequences:

new-line	NL(LF)	\n
horizontal tab	NT	\t
vertical tab	VT	\v
backspace	BS	\b
carriage return	CR	\r
form feed	FF	\f
backslash	\	w
single quote	X	V

bit pattern ddd \ddd

The escape \ddd consists of the backslash followed by 1, 2 or 3 octal digits which are taken to specify the value of the desired character. A special case of this construction is \0 (not followed by a digit), which indicates the character NULL. If the character following a backslash is not one of those specified, the backslash is ignored.

Floating constants

A floating constant consists of an integer part, a decimal point, a fraction part, an e or E, and an optionally signed integer exponent. The integer and fraction parts both consist of a sequence of digits. Either the integer part or the fraction part (not both) may be missing; either the decimal point or the e (E) and the exponent (not both) may be missing. A floating constant which cannot be represented exactly as a single-precision float is taken to be double precision; see #2.6.

Enumeration constants

Names declared as enumerators (see #8.5) are constants of type int.

Declared constants

An object (#5) of any type can be specified to have a constant value throughout the scope (#4.1) of its name. For pointers the *const declarator (#8.3) is used to achieve this; for non-pointer objects the specifier const (#8.2) is used.
