IntegerLiteralExpr and StringLiteralExpr #53

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Why is IntegerLiteralExpr extending from StringLiteralExpr? It does not seems 
natural using a constructor with an String parameter.

Thank you in advance!

It is necessary because an integer value can be represented in scientific 
notation, for example "7.399999999999985E-5", the parser must maintain the way 
the number was written when the CompilationUnit be wrote to file again.
For the parser a number is a String who means an integer value.
