So I’m trying to memorize the list of keywords in the Java programming language. You cannot use any of them as identifiers in your code. true
, false
, and null
are not keywords. They are actually literals. Likewise, you cannot use them as identifiers in your code.
abstract | assert | boolean | break | byte |
case | catch | char | class | const* |
continue | default | do | double | else |
enum | extends | final | finally | float |
for | goto* | if | implements | import |
instanceof | int | interface | long | native |
new | package | private | protected | public |
return | short | static | strictfp | super |
switch | synchronized | this | throw | throws |
transient | try | void | volatile | while |
* reserved, currently not used
So, in all, there are 50 keywords to remember. To make it easier for myself I’ll study them in alphabetical group (i.e. 2 start with a; 3 start with b; 6 start with c; etc.).
Next, the A’s →
