Keywords

This page contains a list of all the reserved words in Standard C++, and a few predefined identifiers for the sake of comparison.

Recall the distinction between reserved words and predefined identifiers, which are collectively referred to (by us, at least) as keywords. But be aware that this terminology is not standard. For example, some authors will use keyword in the same sense that we have used reserved word.

C++ Reserved Words

The reserved words of C++ may be conveniently placed into several groups. In the first group we put those that were also present in the C programming language and have been carried over into C++. There are 32 of these, and here they are: 
auto   const     double  float  int       short   struct   unsigned
break  continue  else    for    long      signed  switch   void
case   default   enum    goto   register  sizeof  typedef  volatile
char   do        extern  if     return    static  union    while
There are another 30 reserved words that were not in C, are therefore new to C++, and here they are: 
asm         dynamic_cast  namespace  reinterpret_cast  try
bool        explicit      new        static_cast       typeid
catch       false         operator   template          typename
class       friend        private    this              using
const_cast  inline        public     throw             virtual
delete      mutable       protected  true              wchar_t
The following 11 C++ reserved words are not essential when the standard ASCII character set is being used, but they have been added to provide more readable alternatives for some of the C++ operators, and also to facilitate programming with character sets that lack characters needed by C++. 
and      bitand   compl   not_eq   or_eq   xor_eq
and_eq   bitor    not     or       xor

Note that your particular compiler may not be completely up-to-date, which means that some (and possibly many) of the reserved words in the preceding two groups may not yet be implemented.

Some Predefined Identifiers

Beginning C++ programmers are sometimes confused by the difference between the two terms reserved word and predefined identifier, and certainly there is some potential for confusion.

One of the difficulties is that some keywords that one might "expect" to be reserved words just are not. The keyword main is a prime example, and others include things like the endl manipulator and other keywords from the vast collection of C++ libraries.

For example, you could declare a variable called main inside your main function, initialize it, and then print out its value (but you probably shouldn't, except as an experiment to verify that you can!). On the other hand, you could not do this with a variable named else. The difference is that else is a reserved word, while main is "only" a predefined identifier.

Here is a very short list of some of the predefined identifiers you may have encountered: 

cin   endl     INT_MIN   iomanip    main      npos  std
cout  include  INT_MAX   iostream   MAX_RAND  NULL  string
