I don't know is "false" a keyword in java ,please help me!thranks

[Dan Patterson]

true, false, and null are not keywords but they are reserved words, so you cannot use them as names in your programs.

[Kj Reddy]

false is not keyword, but its a reserved word.

[Thibault Dangr�aux]

Isn't it a litteral actually? With "false" representing the value "false"?

[Jim Yingst]

Yes, it's a literal - and also reserved. Same for true and null.

[Tony Morris]

To draw an analogy, is 7 a keyword? No, it's an int literal.
By the same reasoning, false is not a keyword, but a boolean literal.
