Thanks. On the last part, I believe the keywords would also be
generally categorized as tokens/terminals.
Suppose I have come up with a new language and want to give a formal
explanation to it.
For items like if, else, main I categorize them as keywords and then I
categorize
if, else, main, {, } as terminal tokens. Do you think this is a good
way of explaining the
language
You may try places like the Usenet newsgroup comp.compilers (and some
others) for question like this.
I think that "keywords" refer to tokens hardwired into the language,
and often they do not change meaning by context.
