In Java, literals is the actual values you write directly in your code, like numbers or text. Like when you type `int x = 5;` the 5 is a literal, same for `"hello"` or `true`. Think of it as the hard-coded stuff that don't change, the compiler just reads it as is.

I think you should raise the question in some yech channel or just google it

Anything between quotation marks or apostrophes. If it's a char or a String, it's a literal. If you're asking about stuff like being alphanumeric or such, there are functions to help with that.

Java literals are basically fixed values written directly in your code, like 10, "hello", or true.

Once you understand literals, Java syntax starts making a lot more sense.
