- Keywords in c can be defined as reserved words or pre-defined or pre-defined words having their own importance and each keyword has its own importance and each keyword has its own functionality.
- Since keywords are reserved words used by the compiler so they cannot be used as variable names.
- If the keywords are used as the variable names it means that we are assigning a different meaning to the keyword which is not allowed.
- C language supports 32 keywords.
- All c keywords must be written in lower case.
