    C Language Keywords

    • Keywords are predefined words in C language that have a specific meaning and purpose.
    • They are always written in lowercase letters and are reserved, meaning they cannot be used as variable names.

    Keywords vs Identifiers

    • The main difference between keywords and identifiers is that keywords are predefined and have a specific meaning, while identifiers are user-defined names given to variables, functions, and labels.
    • Keywords are used to perform specific operations or functions, whereas identifiers are used to identify variables, functions, and labels.

    Valid Keywords and Identifiers

    • int is a valid C language keyword.
    • myVariable is a valid identifier in C language.

    Characteristics of Identifiers

    • Identifiers can contain letters, digits, and underscores, but must start with a letter or underscore.
    • Identifiers are case-sensitive, meaning myVariable and MyVariable are treated as different names.

    Purpose of Reserved Words (Keywords)

    • The purpose of reserved words (keywords) is to define the structure and syntax of the C language program.
    • They are used to declare variables, define functions, and specify control structures, among other things.
