Re: [Dev-C++] keywords

[<ir...@ar...>]

Hi Avi,

Generally, as you have noticed, Dev-C++'s syntax highlighter helps you
identify different aspects of your code.
I think that most, if not all, the various keywords would be in the glossary
mentioned.
As and when you come across them, the syntax highlighting will indicate, if
you do not already know.
In that case, it should be a simple matter of checking that glossary, or
some other more detailed reference, as to the actual meaning and syntax.
You could do a search for such references, I personally do refer to
cppreference.com, cplusplus.com and cprogramming.com from time to time.

The 'operator' keyword is likely used in operator overloading.
It should be fairly standard, so reasons why your compiler didnt recognise
it could be that your compiler was non-standard, the syntax highlighting
didnt include it, or simply that 'operator' wasnt defined as a keyword at
the time, though I am not familiar with the history.
