1. Reserved word

   In a computer language, a reserved word (also known as a reserved identifier) is a word that cannot be used as an identifier, such as the name of a variable, function, or label – it is "reserved from use". This is a syntactic definition, and a reserved word may have no user-defined meaning. A closely related and often conflated notion is a keyword, which is a word with special meaning in a particular context. This is a semantic definition. By contrast, names in a standard library but not built into the language are not considered reserved words or keywords. The terms "reserved word" and "keyword" are often used interchangeably – one may say that a reserved word is "reserved for use as a keyword" – and formal use varies from language to language; for this article we distinguish as above. In general reserved words and keywords need not coincide, but in most modern languages keywords are a subset of reserved words, as this makes parsing easier, since keywords cannot be confused with identifiers. In some languages, like C or Python, reserved words and keywords coincide, while in other languages, like Java, all keywords are reserved words, but some reserved words are not keywords – these are "reserved for future use". In yet other languages, such as the older languages ALGOL, FORTRAN and PL/I, there are keywords but no reserved words, with keywords being distinguished from identifiers by other means.

1. Reserved word

   In a programming language, a reserved word is a word that cannot be used as an identifier, such as a name of a variable or function or a label; this is a syntactic definition, part of the lexical grammar of identifiers, and a reserved word may have no meaning. A closely related and often conflated notion is a keyword which is a word with special meaning, while syntactically these are terminal symbols in the phrase grammar. Keywords primarily fall into a few classes: part of a production rule with nonterminal symbols, such as the word if in most procedural languages, which indicates a conditional and takes clauses, names of primitive types in a language that support a type system, such as int, or primitive constant values such as true for Boolean true. By contrast, names in a standard library but not built into the language are not considered keywords.
