C++ - TOKENS, KEYWORDS, IDENTIFIERS

TOKENS:

The smallest individual units in program are known as tokens. C++ has the following tokens. i. Keywords ii. Identifiers iii. Constants iv. Strings v. Operators 

KEYWORDS: 

The keywords implement specific C++ language feature. They are explicitly reserved identifiers and can’t be used as names for the program variables or other user defined program elements. The keywords not found in ANSI C are shown in red letter. 

C++ KEYWORDS: 

Asm                 double                 new                 switch 

Auto                 else                 operator             template 

Break               enum                private                 this 

Case                 extern             protected             throw 

Catch                 float                 public                 try 

Char                     for               register               typedef 

Class                 friend             return                 union 

Const                 goto             short                 unsigned 

Continue             if                 signed               virtual 

Default             inline             sizeof                 void 

Delete             long                 struct                 while

IDENTIFIERS: 

Identifiers refers to the name of variable , functions, array, class etc. created by programmer. Each language has its own rule for naming the identifiers. 

The following rules are common for both C and C++. 

1. Only alphabetic chars, digits and under score are permitted. 

2. The name can’t start with a digit. 

3. Upper case and lower case letters are distinct. 

4. A declared keyword can’t be used as a variable name. 

In ANSI C the maximum length of a variable is 32 chars but in c++ there is no bar.
