While preparing for the SCJP exam, I came across this book "Java 2, Certification Study Guide" by Simon Roberts, Philip Heller and Michael Ernest. On page 6 & 7, this book bears a table titled "Java Keywords" with a note that "The Java language specifies 49 keywords and other reserved words, which are listed in Table 1.1" and the table lists 49 Reserved words, OK, but the list doesn't contain "switch". I want to know if switch is a Java 2, keyword or not? if it is, are the total keywords 49 or 50 ? thanks in adv, regards, Ehtesham.    More>>

Hi,


The Java tutorial lists these
Keywords


There are 48 keywords of which 2 are not used. Note that true, false and null are not keywords - they are reserved words.


switch is a keyword.


Hope that helps,
