JavaScript: Reserved Words
JavaScript has a number of reserved words that you cannot use as identifiers. Reserved words have a specific meaning to the JavaScript language, as they are part of the language syntax. Using a reserved word causes a compilation error when loading your script.
List of Reserved words
- break - default - function - return - var - case
- delete - if - switch - void - catch - do
- in - this - while - const - else - instanceof
- throw - with - continue - finally - let - try
- for, - new - debugger
JavaScript also has a list of future reserved words. These words are not currently part of the JavaScript language, although they are reserved for future use.
