** Kotlin Sealed Classes Offer More Flexibility than Java Enums and Interfaces

Kotlin, a modern programming language, introduces sealed classes that allow for restricted hierarchies of subclasses.

While both languages aim to control inheritance hierarchies, Kotlin's sealed classes offer a more concise syntax and better integration with when expressions.
