Keywords

The MATLAB software reserves certain words for its own use as keywords of the language. To list the keywords, type

iskeyword
ans = 
    'break'
    'case'
    'catch'
       .
       .
       .

See the online function reference pages to learn how to use these keywords.

You should not use MATLAB keywords other than for their intended purpose. For example, a keyword should not be used as follows:

while = 5;
??? while = 5;
          |
Error: Expected a variable, function, or constant, found "=".
