Julia Keywords
Keywords in Julia are reserved words that have a predefined meaning to the compiler. They are used for some internal processes by the compiler. Keywords can’t be used as a variable name. Doing the same will result in a compile-time error.
Example:
# Julia program to illustrate # the use of keywords # Using 'for' keyword for i in 1:10 # Using if keyword if i % 2 == 0 println(i, " is even") # Using else keyword else println(i, " is odd") # Using end keyword end end |

Output
1 is odd 2 is even 3 is odd 4 is even 5 is odd 6 is even 7 is odd 8 is even 9 is odd 10 is even
If we use a keyword as a variable name, the compiler will generate an error:
