Interface StringLiteral

public interface StringLiteral
A string literal object results from processing a string literal in the source code. It consists of a sequence of execution characters. The execution charcters are obtained by interpreting the source characters in the source literal. Multiple source characters may encode a single execution character, using escape sequences and unicode encodings. The C11 Standard also specifies various kinds of strings, distinguished by the kind of chacters they contain.
