What are literals?

Answer 1

A literal is a value that can be written directly into a Java program. The compiler can calculate the value it represents because most primitive data types have their own literal pattern.

Literal we mean any number, text, or information  that represents a value. For instance;

int month  = 10;

In the above statement the literal is an integer value i.e 10. The literal is 10 because it directly represents the integer value.

Answer 2

literal is constant int a=6; here 6 is constant(literal)
