Q2. What are the features of Java 17, specifically related to sealed classes, including their syntax and necessity, along with the potential errors encountered when invoking a sealed class?
Ans. 
Java 17 introduces sealed classes to restrict inheritance and improve code maintainability.
• Sealed classes are declared using the 'sealed' keyword followed by the permitted subclasses.

• Subclasses of a sealed class must be either final or sealed themselves.

• Errors may occur when trying to extend a sealed class with a non-permitted subclass.

Q2. Circuit breaker implementation
Ans. 
Circuit breaker is a design pattern used to prevent system overload by temporarily stopping requests to a failing service.
• Circuit breaker monitors requests to a service and opens when the service fails repeatedly.

• It helps prevent cascading failures and allows the system to gracefully degrade.

• Once the circuit breaker is open, it can periodically check if the service has recovered before allowing requests again.

Q3. What is deadlock? How to avoid it?
Ans. 
Deadlock is a situation in which two or more processes are unable to proceed because each is waiting for the other to release a resource.
• Avoid circular wait by ensuring processes request resources in the same order.

• Prevent hold and wait by requiring processes to request all needed resources at once.

• Implement a timeout mechanism to break potential deadlocks.

• Use resource allocation graphs to detect and prevent deadlocks.
