🚀 Introduction: Why Use Pattern Matching in switch?
Before Java 21, handling different object types in a switch was not possible directly. Instead, developers were forced to:
❌ Use instanceof checks inside if-else statements
❌ Manually cast objects to their actual types
❌ Use complex and verbose logic to handle multiple types
💡 Java 21 introduces Pattern Matching in switch, making code cleaner and safer.
📌 In this article, you’ll learn:
✅ What is Pattern Matching in switch?
✅ How to simplify type-based logic using pattern matching
✅ Complete examples demonstrating real-world use cases
