Keywords in c++

• C++ reserves a number of words for special use that could otherwise be used as identifiers. Called reserved words or keywords, these words are special and are used to define the structure of C++ programs and statements.
• Fortunately, if you accidentally attempt to use one of the reserved words in a program as a variable name, the compiler will issue an error.
• C++ reserves these words for specific purposes in program construction. None of the words in this list may be used as an identifier; thus, you may not use any of these words to name a variable.
