15. 15. Try-Catch BlockA try-catch block is used to handle exceptions in Java by defining a block of code to be tested for errors.

20. 20. Creating StreamsMethods to create streams from collections, arrays, or I/O channels.
21. 21. Intermediate OperationsOperations that transform a stream into another stream, such as map and filter.
22. 22. Terminal OperationsOperations that produce a result or a side-effect, such as forEach and collect.
23. 23. Stream FilteringUsing the filter method to exclude elements based on a predicate.
24. 24. Stream MappingUsing the map method to transform elements in a stream.
25. 25. Stream ReductionCombining elements of a stream into a single result using reduce.
26. 26. Method ReferencesA shorthand notation of a lambda expression to call a method.

41. 41. JVM TuningAdjusting JVM parameters to optimize performance.
42. 42. Memory Management Best PracticesBest practices for managing memory effectively in Java applications.
43. 43. Exception HandlingThe mechanism in Java to handle runtime errors, using try, catch, and finally blocks.
44. 44. Functional InterfacesAn interface with a single abstract method, used as the basis for lambda expressions.
45. 45. throw statementThe throw statement is used to explicitly throw an exception in Java.
46. 46. throws clauseThe throws clause is used in method declarations to specify which exceptions may be thrown by the method.
47. 47. StackTraceStackTrace provides information about the method calls that were active at the time an exception was thrown.
48. 48. Logging ExceptionsLogging exceptions involves recording exception details to help diagnose issues in the application.
49. 49. AssertionsAssertions are used to test assumptions in the code and can help identify bugs during development.
50. 50. try-with-resourcesThe try-with-resources statement automatically closes resources when the try block finishes, helping to prevent resource leaks.
51. 51. Exception HierarchyUnderstanding the Java exception hierarchy helps in determining which exceptions to catch and handle.
52. 52. Checked vs Unchecked ExceptionsChecked exceptions must be either caught or declared in the method signature, while unchecked exceptions do not have this requirement.
53. 53. Lambda ExpressionsA concise way to represent a functional interface using an expression.
54. 54. EncapsulationEncapsulation is the bundling of data and methods that operate on that data within a single unit.
55. 55. InheritanceInheritance allows a new class to inherit properties and methods from an existing class.
56. 56. PolymorphismPolymorphism enables objects to be treated as instances of their parent class, allowing for method overriding.
57. 57. AbstractionAbstraction is the concept of hiding complex implementation details and showing only the essential features.
58. 58. Method OverloadingMethod overloading allows multiple methods in the same class to have the same name with different parameters.
59. 59. Method OverridingMethod overriding allows a subclass to provide a specific implementation of a method already defined in its superclass.
60. 60. Static MethodsStatic methods belong to the class rather than any specific instance and can be called without creating an object.
61. 61. CompositionComposition is a design principle where a class is composed of one or more objects from other classes.
62. 62. AggregationAggregation is a special form of association where one class contains a reference to another class but both can exist independently.
63. 63. Stream PipelinesA sequence of operations on a stream that can be combined for complex data processing.
64. 64. Parallel StreamsStreams that can be processed in parallel to leverage multi-core architectures.
65. 65. Custom ExceptionsCustom exceptions are user-defined exception classes that extend the Exception class to create specific error types.
66. 66. Unit Testing for ExceptionsUnit testing for exceptions involves writing tests to verify that specific exceptions are thrown under certain conditions.
67. 67. Debugging TechniquesVarious techniques used to diagnose and fix bugs in Java applications, including code reviews and peer programming.
68. 68. Abstract ClassesAn abstract class is a class that cannot be instantiated and may contain abstract methods that must be implemented by subclasses.
69. 69. Final KeywordThe final keyword in Java is used to declare constants, prevent method overriding, and inheritance.
70. 70. Inner ClassesInner classes are defined within another class and can access the outer class's members.
71. 71. JavaBeansJavaBeans are reusable software components that follow specific conventions for property access and event handling.
