Literals.. numeric character and string?

[sirkyuubi]

I have read about these, but I still can not get a grasp on what these are. Please help.

They are values that you can hardcode in your program

Thank you. No where that I have read did it mention anywhere that literals are a type of constants.

I find that hard to believe.
