This section presents an intentionally simplified definition of lvalues and rvalues. The rest of the article will elaborate on this definition. An lvalue (locator value) represents an object that occupies some identifiable location in memory (i.e. has an address). rvalues are defined by exclusion, by saying that every expression is either an lvalue or an rvalue.
