Answer
Defines method signature for MethodHandles.
MethodType is used to define the signature of a method that a MethodHandle will represent. It includes the return type and parameter types, which must match the method being accessed. For example, MethodType.methodType(void.class) specifies a method with no parameters and a void return type, which a MethodHandle would use to invoke such a method.
