Lexical structure and syntax

Lexical analysis

Ocean has a very strait forward lexical model, which is tightly coupled to the semantics. In other words, each recognisable token has a single (semantic) meaning. Typical differences with most other comparable languages are:

• 'identifiers' are less overloaded (Identifiers),
• literals aren't typed (Literals),
• lexical level reflection (),
• comments can be bound to identifiers (),
• special form of operator overloading (),
