<<Java Language Specification>>列出了java关键字、保留关键字,
并举例说明true,false和null都不是java的keywords,而是literals ,尽管他们看起来很像是keywords。
3.9 Keywords
The following character sequences, formed from ASCII letters, are reserved for use as keywords and cannot be used as identifiers (§3.8):
Keyword: one of
abstract default if private this
boolean do implements protected throw
break double import public throws
byte else instanceof return transient
case extends int short try
catch final interface static void
char finally long strictfp volatile
class float native super while
const for new switch
continue goto package synchronized
The keywords const
and goto
are reserved, even though they are not currently used. This may allow a Java compiler to produce better error messages if these C++ keywords incorrectly appear in programs.
While true
and false
might appear to be keywords, they are technically Boolean literals (§3.10.3). Similarly, while null
might appear to be a keyword, it is technically the null literal (§3.10.7).
3.10 Literals
A literal is the source code representation of a value of a primitive type (§4.2), the String
type (§4.3.3), or the null type (§4.1):
Literal:
IntegerLiteral
FloatingPointLiteral
BooleanLiteral
CharacterLiteral
StringLiteral
NullLiteral
