Simple symbols
A simple symbol does not contain any periods
and does not start
with a digit (0
–9
).
By default, its value is the characters of the symbol (that is, translated to uppercase). If the symbol has been assigned a value, it names a variable and its value is the value of that variable.
These are simple symbols:
