Could you quote the book where it says that "certain keywords can be used as an identifier"? – ouah Apr 12 '15 at 22:16

It says :"Some C compilers allow you to contruct variable names that exactly resemble the keywords.However,it would be safer /*Not Necessary */ not to mix up the variable names and keywords". Under "C Keywords" Page No. 11 - 10th Edition. – Aryan Dixit Apr 13 '15 at 10:36

You are not allowed to use a keyword as an identifier in C, with the exception of macro names and macro parameters.
