- Constants
 Actual values in the source code are indicated by numerical or character constants, such as 1 (a tiny integer constant), 5.5 (a float constant), or "text" (a string constant).
- Keywords
 These are words that are reserved and have a set meaning in the language. They can't be altered or reinterpreted.
