Keywords

Keywords are reserved words within a programming language that hold predefined meanings. It’s basically important to note that they cannot be used as names or identifiers.

C++
#include <iostream>

int main() {
    int y = 8; // 'int' is a keyword for defining an integer variable
    return 0;
}
C
#include<stdio.h>

int main() {
    int x = 5; // 'int' is a keyword indicating the variable type
    return 0;
}
Java
public class GfgClass {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        int z = 12; // 'int' is a keyword indicating the variable type
    }
}
Python
def gfgKeyword():
    pass  # 'def' is a keyword used to define a function
JavaScript
// JavaScript doesn't require explicit data type declaration
// so there's no need to specify 'int' for variable declaration

// Define a variable 'y' and assign the value 8 to it
let y = 8;

// There's no need for a return statement in JavaScript for this case
// as it is not a required

Here, in the above code we can see there are some reserved keywords that have some already defined meaning such as int, return in C, C++ and Java and def and if..else in python.
