Whitespace
Java is a free-form language. This means that you do not need to follow any special indentation rules. For instance, the Example program could have been written all on one line or in any other strange way you felt like typing it, as long as there was at least one whitespace character between each token that was not already delineated by an operator or separator. In Java, whitespace is a space, tab, or newline.
Identifiers
Identifiers are used for class names, method names, and variable names. An identifier may be any descriptive sequence of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, or the underscore and dollar-sign characters. They must not begin with a number, lest they be confused with a numeric literal. Again, Java is case-sensitive, so VALUE is a different identifier than Value.
int temperature = 35; // temperature is an identifier
Literals
A constant value in Java is created by using a literal representation of it.
int temperature = 35; // 35 is a literal
Comments
Single Line Comments
int temperature = 35; // this is single line comment
Multiple Line Comments
int temperature = 35; /* this is a multiline comment*/ int humidity = 80;
Java Keywords
Java Keywords are the reserved words that you cannot use as Identifiers in your program. every program uses some of these keywords so that compiler understand what is declared and defined in program. The keywords are as follows :-
abstract | continue | for | new | switch |
assert | default | goto | package | synchronized |
boolean | do | if | private | this |
break | double | implements | protected | throw |
byte | else | import | public | throws |
case | enum | instanceof | return | transient |
catch | extends | int | short | try |
char | final | interface | static | void |
class | finally | long | strictfp | volatile |
const | float | native | super | while |
