true, false, null keyword or ????

[Suman Nagelia]

Hi,
Can anyone tell me specifically for the purpose of exam whether we should conside true, false and null as keyword or not? As in some books it's listed under keywords.
Plese help me out.
Thanks

check out this objective from the 1.4 exam:
SECTION 4: LANGUAGE FUNDAMENTALS
Identify all Java programming language keywords. Note: There will not be any questions regarding esoteric distinctions between keywords and manifest constants.
in other words -- don't worry about it, for the purpose of the exam assume they are keywords.

Thanks a lot.

null, true, false >>> are NOT considered keywords!
They are literals!

So Luciano you mean to say I shouldn't consider them as keyword for purpose of exam.

Regardless of what they really are, for the sake of the exam, you will not have to differentiate between literals and keywords in terms of true, false, and null.
