Answer
Use the syntax ${property:default}. Frame the concept in practical terms so you can explain it during interview discussion.
When using the @Value annotation, you can specify a default value by using a colon. For example, @Value("${max.items:10}") injects the 'max.items' property, defaulting to 10 if not set. This is useful for setting defaults in configuration files.
