We are up to 40 keywords covered in previous articles! That's 83% keywords covered. We have only 8 keywords to cover and I will be covering 1 of those in this article. We are almost done with all the basic keywords. This article will illustrate the use of the keyword super . I suggest you start with Java Keywords (Part I) before proceeding further, if you have not read any of the previous articles in the Java Keyword series. Also, go back and read the one about Data Types. All of these articles are from September 2018. That should help you find them quickly. You can also use the "search" option at the top of this page. The series was written with natural progression in mind. Therefore, some of the keywords already covered may be used in code examples illustrated here.

The Java keyword list has 19 keywords grayed out. That puts us at 38% of keywords covered by these series of articles. Amazingly, that's almost sufficient to built simple applications. I suggest that if have not read any of the articles in Java Keyword series, you read them before proceeding further. Also, go back and read the one about Data Types. All of these articles are from September 2018. That should help you find them quickly. This article will only cover the if and else keywords.

This is not a break in my Java Keyword series. This is a continuation of the series that focuses in two things. The primary goal is to explain what an interface is (which differentiates them from classes) and go over a few examples that illustrate why interfaces are not just needed, but essential for robust and reusable software solutions. Because of new improvements introduced with Java 8, I will also introduced the concept of default methods; although will do so in a separate article... A second part to this one. I feel doing that is necessary for keeping the scope of this article as narrow as possible for the sake of simplicity and clarity. Interestingly enough, how to use interfaces will also be covered in a separate article where I will be discussing the Object-Oriented concept of inheritance. In the new article, I will be emphasizing in the keywords extends , implements , and super . The Java keyword list has 18 keywords grayed out. This article will only cover th...

This is not a break in my Java Keyword series. This is a continuation of the series that focuses in two things. The first part will focus on the anatomy of a class, which I have covered (somewhat) already. The second part focuses in the concept of a class constructor. Lastly, and as a related topic to that second part is how to invoke class constructors and explains what happens when this occurs (which I have somewhat covered already). View this article as a way to tie loose ends before moving on to other topics. In the end, I will wrap up the keywords class and the new operator.
