# Numeric, boolean, and pointer literals

A literal is a program element that directly represents a value. This article covers literals of type integer, floating-point, boolean, and pointer. For information about string and character literals, see [String and Character Literals (C++)](../cpp/string-and-character-literals-cpp.md). You can also define your own literals based on any of these categories. For more information, see [User-defined literals (C++)](../cpp/user-defined-literals-cpp.md)
