Lesson 301a: A reduced set of keywords
To date, the C++ programming language has fifty-two (52) keywords, while the set of keywords for C is significantly reduced: there are only thirty-four (34):
auto break case char const continue default do double else enum extern float for goto if inline int long register restrict return short signed sizeof static struct switch typedef union unsigned void volatile while
Two of these, inline and restrict, were only introduced in the 1999 C Standard (C99).
