Focus: Records
Java: Records
Answer
Trying to add mutable state or complex logic.
A common mistake is attempting to use records for classes that require mutable state or complex behaviors, which is against their design philosophy. Records are meant for simple, immutable data carriers. For example, using a record for a `Customer` that needs to update its address would be inappropriate.
