        Java Language Keywords
        
Here's a list of keywords in the Java programming language.
You cannot
use any of the following as identifiers in your programs. The keywords
 const and goto are reserved, even though they are not
currently used.
true, false, and null
might seem like keywords, but they are actually literals; you cannot
use them as identifiers in your programs.
