Play With Java 17

In this project, I practised and discussed the new features from Java 11 to Java 17, the last LTS of Java, released on 13 September 2021.

I published an article at Medium discussing the features.

Features:

1. Switch expression
2. Records
3. Text block
4. Sealed class
5. Pattern matching
6. Others
   1. Improved NullPointerException stack trace
   2. New methods in String class i.e, indent(int n), transform(java.util.function.Function function)
   3. New method mismatch() in Files class
   4. Local interface and enum

The new features help us to write less code. Interestingly, at compile time, some of these advance syntax like - Text block, Pattern matching, change the classes to our basic old java classes, which can be found at /out folder.
