Java OOP Practice (Interactive)
Intuition
Learning through practice: Practice problems are like training drills — they help you apply knowledge and identify areas that need more study.
Why it matters: Regular practice builds confidence and reveals patterns in how concepts are tested. Each problem reinforces key programming concepts.
The key insight: Making mistakes during practice is valuable — each error points to a concept that needs clarification.

Common Mistakes
Forgetting that arrays use .length not .length(): Arrays have a length field; strings have a length() method. Mixing them up causes compile errors.
Using List<Object> when you need List<?>: List<Object> allows adding any object; List<?> is read-only for any specific type. Using the wrong one causes type safety issues.
Confusing extends with implements in generics: T extends Number is an upper bound (class or interface); T implements Comparable is not valid. Use extends for both classes and interfaces in generic bounds.
