Iteration Techniques & Fail-Fast Behavior

Iterate safely using iterators, ListIterator, and streams.

Fail-fast iterators throw ConcurrentModificationException when the collection is structurally modified outside the iterator.

Use ListIterator to traverse backwards or insert during iteration.

Concurrent collections provide fail-safe iterators that reflect snapshot views.
