Identifying Keywords
The C# language reserves 77 identifiers for its own use, and you should not reuse these
identifiers for your own purposes. These identifiers are called keywords, and each has a
particular meaning. Examples of keywords are class, namespace, and using. You'll learn
the meaning of most of the keywords as you proceed through this book. The keywords
are listed in the following table.
abstract as base bool
break byte case catch
char checked class const
continue decimal default delegate
do double else enum
event explicit extern false
finally fixed float for
foreach goto if implicit
in int interface internal
is lock long namespace
new null object operator
out override params private
protected public readonly ref
return sbyte sealed short
sizeof stackalloc static string
struct switch this throw
true try typeof uint
ulong unchecked unsafe ushort
