This update brings new interfaces, multiple algorithm implementations, and better support for stream-based operations, addressing limitations of the legacy java.util.Random class.

Records in Java 17 provide a concise way to create immutable data classes, automatically generating constructors, getters, equals, hashCode, and toString.

Text Blocks in Java 17 make multi-line strings readable and maintainable by eliminating escape sequences and preserving formatting.

Pattern Matching for instanceof in Java 17 combines type testing and variable binding, making your code cleaner and more readable.

Sealed Classes in Java 17 provide fine-grained control over inheritance, allowing you to restrict which classes can extend or implement your types.
