1Z0-829 Java 17 Modern Java 17 Features Guide

Study 1Z0-829 Java 17 Modern Java 17 Features: key concepts, common traps, and exam decision cues.

This chapter matters because Oracle is explicitly testing JDK 17-era language behavior. These features are not decorative. They affect legality, modeling, and code-reading outcomes.
