List of Java key words

List of java key words : In Java keywords are the words whose meaning has  been already explained to the java compiler. The keywords cannot be used as variable names because if we do so we are trying to assign a new meaning to the keyword, which is not allowed by the compiler. Java has 50 keywords. List of java keywords is given below.

The list of Java Keywords in table format for reference :

abstract	assert	boolean	break	byte	case
catch	char	class	continue	default	do
double	else	enum	extends	final	finally
float	for	if	implements	import	instanceof
int	interface	long	native	new	null
package	private	protected	public	return	short
static	strictfp	super	switch	synchronized	this
throw	throws	transient	try	void	volatile
while

 

The keywords const and goto are reserved for future usage, even they are not currently in use.

Note : in java  true, false and null look like keywords, but in actual they are literals.
