Java Keywords

Introduction

There are 50 keywords currently defined in the Java language.

These keywords cannot be used as identifiers.

Thus, they cannot be used as names for a variable, class, or method.

The keywords const and goto are reserved but not used.

In addition to the keywords, Java reserves the following: true, false, and null.

These are values defined by Java.

You may not use these words for the names of variables, classes, and so on.
