Core Concepts of java intermediate

Production-ready compilation flags and build commands

tutorial: Collections & Generics Deep Dive

Understand how to design type-safe APIs using List, Map, Set, and generics; see how to design reusable collections in java intermediate examples below.

⚠️ Common Error

Using raw types like List instead of List<String>

✓ Solution

Always use generics to avoid ClassCastException and improve compile-time safety.

+25%

commands/syntax: Streams & Lambdas

Use functional-style operations with Stream API and lambda expressions to process collections concisely and efficiently.

+30%

how to use streams and lambdas in java intermediate step by step

Move from imperative loops to fluent stream pipelines for filtering, mapping, and aggregation.

Up to 10% faster JSON parsing and collection processing with modern JDK 25 optimizations

troubleshooting: Exceptions & Error Handling

Implement structured try-catch blocks, custom exceptions, and meaningful logging instead of empty catch blocks.

⚠️ Common Error

Catching Exception broadly or silently swallowing exceptions

✓ Solution

Catch the narrowest specific exception and always log or rethrow with context.
