Keywords and reserved words in Java

[Helen Ma]

For the exam , there is a list of keywords (transient, abstract, int, case ...) that we may need to know.
Also, there are some reserved words in Java. Reserved words are not necessary keywords. Keywords are reserved words. "true", "false", null are reserved words.
I think "Double", "Float" , "String" are also reserved words.

How can I tell the difference between keywords and reserved words in Java?

I think "Double", "Float" , "String" are also reserved words.

No they are not reserved.

int Double = 1;
char Float = 'a';
short String = 1;

You won't be asked to distinguish between keywords and reserved words for the exam. Be able to recognize them when you see them, and you'll be fine.

[Seetharaman Venkatasamy]

consider some game say football,

key words are reserved words and currently in use ...

reserved words are bench people most of them are use in current context and you cant use some of them , because they might be kept in feature depends on game rules . (goto, const)...

just an Analogy.
