# Reserved Words

Reserved words are strings that cannot be used as names of variables and other ProcessMIX entities because otherwise they would cause compilation errors in a program generated from the project. However, you can use them with a minimal modification, e.g. use "abstract\_" instead of "abstract".

The following is a list of reserved words in ProcessMIX that are carried over from the Java language:

```
  'abstract',
  'continue',
  'for',
  'new',
  'assert',
  'default',
  'goto',
  'package',
  'synchronized',
  'boolean',
  'do',
  'private',
  'this',
  'break',
  'double',
  'implements',
  'protected',
  'throw',
  'byte',
  'else',
  'import',
  'public',
  'throws',
  'case',
  'enum',
  'instanceof',
  'return',
  'transient',
  'catch',
  'extends',
  'int',
  'short',
  'try',
  'char',
  'final',
  'interface',
  'static',
  'void',
  'class',
  'finally',
  'long',
  'strictfp',
  'volatile',
  'const',
  'float',
  'native',
  'super',
  'while',
  'generic',
  'true',
  'false',
  'null',
  '_',

```
