In <a href="StandardML">Standard ML</a>, there are syntactically two kinds of identifiers.
<ul>
<li>
<p>
Alphanumeric: starts with a letter or prime (<tt>'</tt>) and is followed by letters, digits, primes and underbars (<tt>_</tt>).
</p>
<p>
Examples: <tt>abc</tt>, <tt>ABC123</tt>, <tt>Abc_123</tt>, <tt>'a</tt>.
</p>
</li>
<li class="gap">
<p>
Symbolic: a sequence of the following
<pre> ! % & $ # + - / : < = > ? @ | ~ ` ^ | *</pre>
</p>
<p>
Examples: <tt>+=</tt>, <tt><=</tt>, <tt>>></tt>, <tt>$</tt>.
</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>
With the exception of <tt>=</tt>, reserved words can not be identifiers.
</p>
<p>
There are a number of different classes of identifiers, some of which have additional syntactic rules.
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>
Identifiers not starting with a prime.
