What does the @ symbol before a variable name mean in C#?

Question

I understand that the @ symbol can be used before a string literal to change how the compiler parses the string. But what does it mean when a variable name is prefixed with the @ symbol?

Accepted Answer

The @ symbol allows you to use reserved word. For example:

```
int @class = 15;
```

The above works, when the below wouldn't:

```
int class = 15;
```
