JAVA

Keywords in java:
In Java, many predefined words are already present (inbuilt) and they have some predefined
meaning, which we call as Java keyword/reserved word.
The following are the Java keywords. These keywords must not be used as Java identifiers:
S.No Keyword Description

1. abstract Specifies that a class or method will


be implemented later, in a subclass

2. assert Assert describes a predicate placed in a java


program to indicate that the developer
thinks that the predicate is always true at
that place.

3. boolean A data type that can hold True and False


values only

4. break A control statement for breaking out of


loops.

5. byte A data type that can hold 8-bit data values

6. case Used in switch statements to mark blocks of


text

7. catch Catches exceptions generated by try


statements

8. char A data type that can hold unsigned 16-bit


Unicode characters

9. class Declares a new class

10. continue Sends control back outside a loop

11. default Specifies the default block of code in a


switch statement

12. do Starts a do-while loop

13. double A data type that can hold 64-bit floating-


point numbers

14. else Indicates alternative branches in an if


statement

15. enum A Java keyword is used to declare an


enumerated type.
Enumerations extend the base class.

16. extends Indicates that a class is derived from

17. final Indicates that a variable holds a constant


value or that a method will not be overridden

18. finally Indicates a block of code in a try-catch


structure that will always be executed

19. float A data type that holds a 32-bit floating-


point number

20. for Used to start a for loop

21. if Tests a true/false expression and branches


accordingly

22. implements Specifies that a class implements an


interface

23. import References other classes

24. instanceof Indicates whether an object is an instance of


a specific class or implements an interface

25. int A data type that can hold a 32-bit signed


integer

26. interface Declares an interface

27. long A data type that holds a 64-bit integer

28. native Specifies that a method is implemented with


native (platform-specific) code

29. new Creates new objects

30. null This indicates that a reference does not


refer to anything

31. package Declares a Java package

32. private An access specifier indicating that a method

ensure portability.
