      public class ConcurrentModificationException
      extends RuntimeException

  This exception may be thrown by methods that have detected concurrent modification of an object when such modification is not permissible.

  For example, it is not generally permissible for one thread to modify a Collection while another thread is iterating over it. In general, the results of the iteration are undefined under these circumstances. Some Iterator implementations (including those of all the general purpose collection implementations provided by the JRE) may choose to throw this exception if this behavior is detected. Iterators that do this are known as fail-fast iterators, as they fail quickly and cleanly, rather that risking arbitrary, non-deterministic behavior at an undetermined time in the future.

  Note that this exception does not always indicate that an object has been concurrently modified by a different thread. If a single thread issues a sequence of method invocations that violates the contract of an object, the object may throw this exception. For example, if a thread modifies a collection directly while it is iterating over the collection with a fail-fast iterator, the iterator will throw this exception.

  Note that fail-fast behavior cannot be guaranteed as it is, generally speaking, impossible to make any hard guarantees in the presence of unsynchronized concurrent modification. Fail-fast operations throw `ConcurrentModificationException` on a best-effort basis. Therefore, it would be wrong to write a program that depended on this exception for its correctness: `ConcurrentModificationException` should be used only to detect bugs.

    Constructors
    Constructor | Description
    --- | ---
    `ConcurrentModificationException()` | Constructs a ConcurrentModificationException with no detail message.
    `ConcurrentModificationException​(String message)` | Constructs a `ConcurrentModificationException` with the specified detail message.
    `ConcurrentModificationException​(String message, Throwable cause)` | Constructs a new exception with the specified detail message and cause.
    `ConcurrentModificationException​(Throwable cause)` | Constructs a new exception with the specified cause and a detail message of `(cause==null ? null : cause.toString())` (which typically contains the class and detail message of `cause`.

    - #### ConcurrentModificationException

          public ConcurrentModificationException()

      Constructs a ConcurrentModificationException with no detail message.

    - #### ConcurrentModificationException

          public ConcurrentModificationException​(String message)

      Constructs a `ConcurrentModificationException` with the specified detail message.
      Parameters:
        `message` - the detail message pertaining to this exception.

    - #### ConcurrentModificationException

          public ConcurrentModificationException​(String message,
                                                 @Nullable
                                                 Throwable cause)

      Constructs a new exception with the specified detail message and cause.

      Note that the detail message associated with `cause` is not automatically incorporated in this exception's detail message.

      Parameters:
        `message` - the detail message (which is saved for later retrieval by the `Throwable.getMessage()` method).
        `cause` - the cause (which is saved for later retrieval by the `Throwable.getCause()` method). (A `null` value is permitted, and indicates that the cause is nonexistent or unknown.)

    - #### ConcurrentModificationException

          public ConcurrentModificationException​(@Nullable
                                                 Throwable cause)

      Constructs a new exception with the specified cause and a detail message of `(cause==null ? null : cause.toString())` (which typically contains the class and detail message of `cause`.
      Parameters:
        `cause` - the cause (which is saved for later retrieval by the `Throwable.getCause()` method). (A `null` value is permitted, and indicates that the cause is nonexistent or unknown.)
