A delimiter is either one of the following special characters:
|
<single_delimiter> |
::= &|(|)|*|+|,|-|/| |;|=|:|% |
|
or one of the following compound symbols: |
|
|
<component_delimiter> |
::= ** | := | :: | <= | >= | == |
Adjacent lexical units may be separated by spaces or by passage to a new line. An identifier or a numeric constant must be separated in this way from an adjacent identifier or numeric constant. Spaces must not occur within lexical units, except for character strings and comments.
Note: The sign ! and single quote are not delimiters. They are part of other lexical units.
