As I was typing some constants in Java I noticed I had used 4 keywords in a row, which Eclipse highlighted for me: public static final int
. I then took a break from my regular coding and asked myself (and google with no relevant results) what the longest chain of keywords I can use and still have valid code. After a while, the best I could come up with was this method definition:
public synchronized static final strictfp int a() { ...
which is 6 keywords in Java. Is it possible to go 7, or even higher? What about other languages?
