14+
15+
3- break: Java break keyword is used to break loop or switch statement. It breaks the current flow of the program at specified condition.
16+
17+
4- byte: Java byte keyword is used to declare a variable that can hold an 8-bit data values.
18+
19+
5- case: Java case keyword is used to with the switch statements to mark blocks of text.
20+
21+
6- catch: Java catch keyword is used to catch the exceptions generated by try statements. It must be used after the try block only.
22+
23+

24+
25+
8- class: Java class keyword is used to declare a class.
26+

10- default: Java default keyword is used to specify the default block of code in a switch statement.
30+
31+
11- do: Java do keyword is used in control statement to declare a loop. It can iterate a part of the program several times.
32+
33+
12- double: Java double keyword is used to declare a variable that can hold a 64-bit floating-point numbers.
34+
35+
13- else: Java else keyword is used to indicate the alternative branches in an if statement.
36+
37+
14- enum: Java enum keyword is used to define a fixed set of constants. Enum constructors are always private or default.

44+
45+
18- float: Java float keyword is used to declare a variable that can hold a 32-bit floating-point number.
46+
47+
19- for: Java for keyword is used to start a for loop. It is used to execute a set of instructions/functions repeatedly when some conditions become true. If the number of iteration is fixed, it is recommended to use for loop.
48+
49+
20- if: Java if keyword tests the condition. It executes the if block if condition is true.
50+
51+
21- implements: Java implements keyword is used to implement an interface.
52+
53+
22- import: Java import keyword makes classes and interfaces available and accessible to the current source code.
54+
55+
23- instanceof: Java instanceof keyword is used to test whether the object is an instance of the specified class or implements an interface.
56+
57+
24- int: Java int keyword is used to declare a variable that can hold a 32-bit signed integer.
58+
59+
25- interface: Java interface keyword is used to declare an interface. It can have only abstract methods.
60+
61+
26- long: Java long keyword is used to declare a variable that can hold a 64-bit integer.

74+
75+

76+
77+

35- short: Java short keyword is used to declare a variable that can hold a 16-bit integer.
80+
81+
36- static: Java static keyword is used to indicate that a variable or method is a class method. The static keyword in Java is used for memory management mainly.
82+
83+
