Lesson focus

Executor Services & Thread Pools

Manage thread lifecycles with Executors, ScheduledExecutorService, and ForkJoinPool.

Choose fixed, cached, single-thread, or work-stealing pools depending on workload.

Always shut down executors gracefully using shutdown()/awaitTermination().

Use ScheduledExecutorService for periodic tasks instead of Timer.
