class Savi::AST::LiteralString

Overview

A LiteralString is a value surrounded by double-quotes in source code, such as the right-hand-side of the assignment in the following example:

example = "example" ^~~~~~~

A LiteralString can have an optional prefix identifier, such as in the following example demonstrating a byte string (rather than a normal string), (in this case the prefix_ident is an Identifier pointing to the letter b):

example = b"example" ^~~~~~~

Defined in:
