Chapter 2. Lexical Structure
The lexical structure of a programming language is the set of elementary rules that specifies how you write programs in that language. It is the lowest-level syntax of a language; it specifies such things as what variable names look like, the delimiter characters for comments, and how one program statement is separated from the next. This short chapter documents the lexical structure of JavaScript.
