Answer
Adds an element to the end of the queue. Frame the concept in practical terms so you can explain it during interview discussion.
The offer() method inserts an element at the tail of the queue. Unlike add(), it doesn't throw an exception if the element can't be added, returning false instead. This method is ideal for capacity-limited queues, ensuring smooth operation in scenarios like data stream buffering.
