Exploring Exciting New Features in Java 17 With Examples

Java, one of the most popular programming languages, continues to evolve and improve with each new release. Java 17, the latest long-term support (LTS) version, brings several exciting features and enhancements to the language. In this article, we will explore some of the notable new features in Java 17 and provide practical examples to help you understand how to use them effectively.
