Focus: Pattern Matching
Java: Pattern Matching
Answer
Ensures controlled inheritance, enhancing safety.
Sealed classes allow you to define a limited set of subclasses, which can enforce strict type hierarchies and improve API safety. This is particularly beneficial in large systems where maintaining control over class extensions ensures consistent behavior and easier debugging.
