# Keywords | ||
|
||
Rust divides keywords in three categories: | ||
- [strict](#strict-keywords) | ||
- [weak](#weak-keywords) | ||
- [reserved](#reserved-keywords) | ||
|
||
## Strict keywords | ||
|
||
These keywords can only be used in their correct contexts. For example, it is | ||
not allowed to declare a variable with name `struct`. | ||
|
||
> **<sup>Lexer:<sup>** | ||
> KW_AS : `as` | ||
> KW_BOX : `box` | ||
> KW_BREAK : `break` | ||
> KW_CONST : `const` | ||
> KW_CONTINUE : `continue` | ||
> KW_CRATE : `crate` | ||
> KW_ELSE : `else` | ||
> KW_ENUM : `enum` | ||
> KW_EXTERN : `extern` | ||
> KW_FALSE : `false` | ||
> KW_FN : `fn` | ||
> KW_FOR : `for` | ||
> KW_IF : `if` | ||
> KW_IMPL : `impl` | ||
> KW_IN : `in` | ||
> KW_LET : `let` | ||
> KW_LOOP : `loop` | ||
> KW_MATCH : `match` | ||
> KW_MOD : `mod` | ||
> KW_MOVE : `move` | ||
> KW_MUT : `mut` | ||
> KW_PUB : `pub` | ||
> KW_REF : `ref` | ||
> KW_RETURN : `return` | ||
> KW_SELFVALUE : `self` | ||
> KW_SELFTYPE : `Self` | ||
> KW_STATIC : `static` | ||
> KW_STRUCT : `struct` | ||
> KW_SUPER : `super` | ||
> KW_TRAIT : `trait` | ||
> KW_TRUE : `true` | ||
> KW_TYPE : `type` | ||
> KW_UNSAFE : `unsafe` | ||
> KW_USE : `use` | ||
> KW_WHERE : `wher` | ||
> KW_WHILE : `while` | ||
## Weak keywords | ||
|
||
These keywords have special meaning only in certain contexts. For example, | ||
it is possible to declare a variable or method with the name `union`. | ||
|
||
> **<sup>Lexer</sup>** | ||
> KW_CATCH : `catch` | ||
> KW_DEFAULT : `default` | ||
> KW_UNION : `union` | ||
> KW_STATICLIFETIME : `'static` | ||
## Reserved keywords | ||
|
||
These keywords aren't used yet, but they are reserved for future use. | ||
The reasoning behind this is to make current programs forward compatible with | ||
future versions of rust by forbiding them to use these keywords. | ||
|
||
> **<sup>Lexer</sup>** | ||
> KW_ABSTRACT : `abstract` | ||
> KW_ALIGNOF : `alignof` | ||
> KW_BECOME : `become` | ||
> KW_DO : `do` | ||
> KW_FINAL : `final` | ||
> KW_MACRO : `macro` | ||
> KW_OFFSETOF : `offsetof` | ||
> KW_OVERRIDE : `override` | ||
> KW_PRIV : `priv` | ||
> KW_PROC : `proc` | ||
> KW_PURE : `pure` | ||
> KW_SIZEOF : `sizeof` | ||
> KW_TYPEOF : `typeof` | ||
> KW_UNSIZED : `unsized` | ||
> KW_VIRTUAL : `virtual` | ||
> KW_YIELD : `yield` |
