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 →
