PURE Java™ 2

Keywords

Java has several keywords. You should avoid giving classes, methods, or variables the same names as these keywords. You've already seen several of them, but for completeness, here are several of the common keywords:

abstract	static	break
native	class	if
volatile	interface	else
public	for	do
private	default	while
protected	void	switch
synchronized	return	case
instanceof	package	continue
final	import

Note

Java has the keyword goto , but it is merely reserved. It is not implemented, so you cannot use goto yourself for anything, nor can you, thankfully, use goto in your code.
