literal

[Tony Johansson]

Hello!

If I have in my program
using System;

Is then System a literal or an identifier.

I would say a typical literal. Do you agree with me ?

I would say this is a namespace. A literal is rather a value (such as 123 or
"Hello World") :

It is an identifier (identifying a namespace). It must follow the rules
for identifiers. Some examples of literals: 1.2, 'x', "hello" and true.
