There are certain reserved words, called keywords
that have standard, predefined meanings in C. These keywords can be used only
for their intended purpose, they cannot be used as programmer-defined identifiers.
The standard keywords are: auto, break, case, char, const, continue,
default, do, double, else, enum, extern, float, for, goto, if, int, long,
register, return, short, signed, sizeof, static, struc, switch, typedef, union,
unsigned, void, volatile, while.
The keywords are all lowercase. Since upper and
lowercase characters are not equivalent, it is possible to utilize an uppercase
keyword as an identifier. Normally, however, this is not done, as it is
considered a poor programming practice.
