+Literals are a way to write values in the code, such as strings and numbers.
+User-defined literals (UDL) allow to add a suffix to a string or number to change the meaning.
+The suffix selects a function (an operator) that can alter the value and type of the literal.
+The C++ library provides certain operators already and a user can add more by providing such operators.
