Keywords are a set of reserved words/identifier in a computer language. A keyword cannot be used as a variables or any user defined elements in a program. Some of the keywords in C/C++ language are as follows:
1) if
2) int
3) while
4) union

NICE WORK
SO THE CONCLUSION IS:-
1. KEWORDS ARE RESERVE WORDS
2. KEWORDS ARE COMPILER SPECIFIC
3. KYWORDS ARE HAVING SPECIAL MEANING AND WORK, SO PROGRAMMERS SPECIFY THEIR WORK TO THE COMPILER USING IT , KEYWORDS ARE EXCLUSIVELY USED BY THE COMPILER i.e PROGRAMMER CAN NOT USE IT FOR THEIR OWN PURPOSES LIKE MAKING NAMES OF VARIABLE , NAMING FUNCTIONS ETC
4. USER DEFINED IDENTIFIERS CAN NOT BE SAME AS KEYWORDS BUT KEYWORDS CAN BE A PART OF VARIABLE'S (OR OTHER IDENTIFIERS) NAME .
FEEL FREE TO ADD MORE POINTS HERE ....

keywords are reserve words exclusively used for specifying the work to the compiler, every keyword has a special meaning which is predefined to the compiler so using keyword we give commands to the compiler to perform some specific work ,
