C++ Keywords

There are 60 key words currently defined for C++. They are shown in Table 2.3 below. Together with the formal C++ syntax, they form the C++ programming language. Keep in mind to avoid giving these keywords as names of variables.

 

 

Asm auto bool break case

catch char class const_cast continue

default delete do double else

enum dynamic_cast extern false float

for union unsigned using friend

goto if inline int long

mutable virtual namespace new operator

private protected public register void

reinterpret_cast return short signed sizeof

static static_cast volatile struct switch

template this throw true try

typedef typeid unsigned wchar_t while

C++ is a case sensitive language, and it requires that all key words be in lowercase.
