Syntax Error for a variable named checked in Csharp

[KANAN14]

I am new to the software programming concepts. But according to my academic syllabus I need to learn Csharp basics. But as I said I am completely a fresher for software programming and have no idea about this. I was given a program question in Csharp and I am getting an error which states syntax error. This happens whenever I declare a variable named checked in Csharp.

This is a very simple error. In programming languages such as C, C++, C# we are not allowed to use the keywords as variable name or class name or property name or name any user defined entity using the keywords. Since in C#, checked is a Keyword, hence you are not allowed to use it as name of a variable. Thus you are a getting the syntax error.

For C Sharp checked is a reserved word or a keyword. This keyword is required to check the overflow checking context in case of mathematical operations. A C Sharp programmer does not has the right to use keywords for declaring a variable. Therefore you get a syntax error for declaring the variable by checked name.

We cannot make use of a keyword to declare it as a name for a variable in C#. Whenever we do so we are given a syntax error. In C# checked is a keyword that makes overflow-checking explicitly for operations of arithmatic intergral-type. So try not to use any keyword when you declare any variable in C#
