In this tutorial you will learn about the C++ Keywords and its application with practical example.
C++ Keywords
In C++, there are is a set of reserved words that you cannot use as an identifier. These words are known as “reserved words” or “Keywords”. Keywords are standard identifiers and their functions is predefined by the compiler. We cannot use keywords as variable names, class names, or method names, or as any other identifier.
Below is list of available keywords in C++ programming Language –
| asm | else | new | this |
| auto | enum | operator | throw |
| bool | explicit | private | true |
| break | export | protected | try |
| case | extern | public | typedef |
| catch | false | register | typeid |
| char | float | reinterpret_cast | typename |
| class | for | return | union |
| const | friend | short | unsigned |
| const_cast | goto | signed | using |
| continue | if | sizeof | virtual |
| default | inline | static | void |
| delete | int | static_cast | volatile |
| do | long | struct | wchar_t |
| double | mutable | switch | while |
| dynamic_cast | namespace | template |
In addition to above, following are also reserved words in C++
| And | bitor | not_eq | xor |
| and_eq | compl | or | xor_eq |
| bitand | not | or_eq |
