Program Description Answer

a. Literal string

Explanation of Solution

Explanation:

There are a variety of notations for specifying literals, especially in more complex circumstances, and the exact notation varies depending on the programming language.

Based on the programming languages such as C, C++, Java, or command line, a literal string is a sequence of characters surrounded by double or single quotes. Until it hits the next double or single quotation, a program does not comprehend characters in a literal string. If the user needs to put a quotation into a literal or interpreted string, it must be escaped if it is the same quote that started the string.

Conclusion:

Therefore, the sequence of characters that is enclosed in double quotation marks is a literal string.
