- [Instructor] Recent Java versions brought some great new features to the language that we'll dive into and explore over the next few lessons. Unlocking new language features is one of the best parts about migrating to a new Java version for developers. To help explore these new features, I have created classes within the exercise files that contain methods that mimic the functionality of the news Java features we're going to explore. This allows you to see what a particular feature does and how to use the method in the new version of the language. So here you see the isBlank method, and what I've done is added an implementation that trims a string and then checks to see if the length of the string after it's been trimmed is zero. We will take this implementation and replace it with the new isBlank method found in Java 11. Then we're able to check that there is parity between the functionality by using unit tests that I've…
