• abstract: used to declare a class or method as abstract. An abstract class
is a class that cannot be instantiated, and an abstract method is a method
without a body that must be implemented in a subclass.
• assert: used to perform assertion testing in Java. An assertion is a
statement that should always be true, and if it is false, then
an AssertionError is thrown.
• boolean: used to declare a boolean variable, which can only have two
values: true or false.
• break: used to break out of a loop or switch statement.
• byte: used to declare a byte variable, which is a data type that can store
values from -128 to 127.
• case: used in a switch statement to define a case label.
• catch: used to catch and handle exceptions in Java.
• char: used to declare a char variable, which is a data type that can store a
single character.
• class: used to declare a class in Java.
• const: a keyword that was reserved but never implemented in Java.
• continue: used to skip the current iteration of a loop and continue to the
next iteration.
• default: used in a switch statement to define a default case.
• do: used to start a do-while loop.
• double: used to declare a double variable, which is a data type that can
