Technically, true and false are boolean literals, and null is the null literal.

Other languages

This page is a fairly handy resource, but I've noticed that such a thing doesn't exist for other programming languages (I'm particularly interested in C++, but I'm sure it would be very useful for other languages as well) and I was wondering if any of the programming wizards out there would be willing to make similar pages for other languages.

My advice would be to just created a "C++ keywords" page, and then wait for the wizards to come, and sho'nuff, they will add in all the details. Mzanime 05:44, 26 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Might also try this at Wikiversity. The computer science area is starting to get active. I just completed some flashcards for java[1] based on this file since I am studying Java. Maybe some others would flesh out C++ flashcard and transfer information this way. 71.161.0.110 03:59, 31 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keywords vs. reserved words

What are the differences in term of their definition? I can see from the article that true, false and null are reserved words but not keywords. What attribute of them separate them from "keywords"? Kowloonese (talk) 22:01, 12 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keyword "default" in Java is used in switch / case blocks - but also in annotations, to specify a default value in the annotation defintion, if none are supplied in the annotation instance. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.208.6.114 (talk) 19:49, 27 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Tidy up

Wikipedia is complaining that this is a long list that may not be terribly helpful and I agree.

These keywords can be broken down into various groups, like "variables", "literals", "protection levels", "procedural" and so on.

I'm inclined to start this for my own reference benefit soon, if no-one else does this, and no-one has issues with this. SEoF (talk) 13:08, 6 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
