How should I read the syntax descriptions in the JLS?
From the Java Language Specification (third edition), section 3.10.5:
StringLiteral: " StringCharactersopt " StringCharacters: StringCharacter StringCharacters StringCharacter StringCharacter: InputCharacter but not " or \ EscapeSequence
Can someone please help me understand this syntax pattern?
What could开发者_如何学Go xx: " xxx
opt
"
mean?
It means a StringLiteral
is a double-quote, an optional StringCharacters
token, and a double quote. "opt" means optional.
StringCharacters
is defined as one or more StringCharacter
tokens.
StringCharacter
is either an InputCharacter
(defined elsewhere) except for a double-quote or a backslach; or an EscapeSequence
(also defined elsewhere)
