What comes after the <code>=</code> is a manifest constant: a self-denoting value of the appropriate type. Manifest constants are available for integers, reals (also used for doubles), booleans ( <code>True</code> and <code>False</code>), characters (in single quotes, as <code>'A'</code>, with [[Eiffel language syntax#Special characters|special characters]] expressed using a percent sign as in <code>'%N'</code> for new line, <code>'%B'</code> for backspace, <code>'%"'</code> for double quote, and <code>'%U'</code> for null).
