Understanding Java Terms: Keywords vs. Special Names

问题：

Is delete, next, main, exit or null keyword in java?

回答：

In Java, the terms you mentioned are not keywords. Here's a breakdown of each:

  1. delete: This is not a keyword in Java. In some other programming languages (like C++), delete is used to deallocate memory, but Java has automatic garbage collection, so memory management is handled differently.

  2. next: This is not a keyword in Java. However, it is commonly used as a method name in classes like Scanner (e.g., nextInt(), nextLine()) to read input.

  3. main: This is not a keyword, but it is a special method name in Java. The main method is the entry point of any standalone Java application. It is defined as public static void main(String[] args).

  4. exit: This is not a keyword in Java. However, System.exit(int status) is a method used to terminate the Java Virtual Machine (JVM).

  5. null: This is a literal in Java, representing a null reference, which means that a variable does not point to any object.

In summary, among the terms you listed, only null is a literal, while main is a special method name, and the others are neither keywords nor literals in Java.
