Java Keywords and Their Functions

The document provides a list of Java keywords along with their functions, such as 'abstract' for indicating class details, 'assert' for testing conditions, and 'boolean' for true/false values. It also mentions keywords like 'break' for exiting loops and 'catch' for handling exceptions. Additionally, it notes that 'const' is not usable in Java as it has no meaning.
