    Java keywords

    Keywords of the Java programming


    language (Java 8)
    Keywords of interest
    In the Programming in Java book, we are concerned with the following
    keywords:

    abstract continue for package this


    assert default if private throw
    boolean double implements protected throws
    break else import public try
    byte enum instanceof return void
    case extends int short while
    catch final interface static
    char finally long super
    class float new switch
    Keywords of interest - classes
    The following keywords are relevant when declaring a class (or enum or
    interface):

    Context (before the actual class definition):


    import package
    Access level:
    private protected public
    Other modifier:
    abstract final static
    Entity (what are we declaring):
    enum interface class
    Hierarchy:
    implements extends
    Keywords of interest - fields (variables) of a class
    The following keywords are relevant when declaring fields:

    Access level:
    private protected public
    Other modifier:
    final static
    Type:
    boolean byte char double float int long short

    Note that classes like String when used as types are not keywords, they are identifiers (names)!
    Keywords of interest - method declarations
    For declaring methods of a class:

    Access level:
    private protected public
    Other modifier:
    abstract final static
    Type:
    boolean byte char float double int long short void
    Exception signal:
    throws
    Keywords of interest - code which does something
    The following keywords are used when writing code which doesn something,
    like the body of constructors and methods (and initializers):

    Control flow:
    continue for if break else return switch case while finally
    Errors and exceptions:
    assert throw try catch
    (Local) Variable declarations:
    boolean byte char double float int long short
    final
    Tests:
    instanceof
    Dereferencing
    this super
    Creation:
    new
    The rest (outside of the scope of this book/course)
    Thread syncronization:
    synchronized
    Serialization:
    transient
    Floating point calculations:
    strictfp
    Concurrency/atomicity:
    volatile
    Methods written in other languages (differ between Java installations):
    native
    Java 8 interface default method modifier:
    default
