Contextual Keywords¶

Some keywords are contextual, meaning that they can also be used as identifiers - without an @ symbol. The following are contextual keywords:

add
ascending
by
descending
equals
from
get
global
group
in
into
join
let
on
orderby
partial
remove
select
set
value
var
where
yield
With contextual keywords, ambiguity cannot arise within the context in which they are used.
