* Understanding ExecutorService Methods
* execute(Runnable command)
* Runs the task but only supports Runnable (not Callable).
* #execService.execute(task2); fails because task2 is Callable<String>.
* submit(Runnable task)
* Submits a Runnable task for execution.
* execService.submit(task1); executes "Executing Task-1".
* submit(Callable<T> task)
* Submits a Callable<T> task for execution.
* execService.submit(task2); executes "Executing Task-2".
* call() Does Not Exist in ExecutorService
* #execService.call(task1); and execService.call(task2); are invalid.
* run() Does Not Exist in ExecutorService
* #execService.run(task1); and execService.run(task2); are invalid.
* Correct Code to Print Both Messages:
java
execService.submit(task1);
execService.submit(task2);
Thus, the correct answer is:execService.submit(task1); execService.submit(task2); References:

In this code, two StringBuffer objects, us and uk, are created with the values "US" and "UK", respectively. A stream is then created from these objects using Stream.of(us, uk).
The collect method is used with Collectors.joining("-", "=", ""). The joining collector concatenates the elements of the stream into a single String with the following parameters:
* Delimiter ("-"):Inserted between each element.
* Prefix ("="):Inserted at the beginning of the result.
* Suffix (""):Inserted at the end of the result.
Therefore, the elements "US" and "UK" are concatenated with "-" between them, resulting in "US-UK". The prefix "=" is added at the beginning, resulting in the final output =US-UK.

* Option A (Map<String, ArrayList<String>> authorsMap1 = new HashMap<>();)
* #Compilation Fails
* frenchAuthors is declared as List<String>,notArrayList<String>.
* The correct way to declare a Map that allows storing List<String> is to use List<String> as the generic type,notArrayList<String>.
* Fix:
java
Map<String, List<String>> authorsMap1 = new HashMap<>();
authorsMap1.put("FR", frenchAuthors);
* Reason:The type ArrayList<String> is more specific than List<String>, and this would cause a type mismatcherror.
* Option B (Map<String, ? extends List<String>> authorsMap2 = new HashMap<String, ArrayList<String>>();)
* #Compilation Fails
* ? extends List<String>makes the map read-onlyfor adding new elements.
* The line authorsMap2.put("FR", frenchAuthors); causes acompilation errorbecause wildcard (?
extends List<String>) prevents modifying the map.
* Fix:Remove the wildcard:
java
Map<String, List<String>> authorsMap2 = new HashMap<>();
authorsMap2.put("FR", frenchAuthors);
* Option C (var authorsMap3 = new HashMap<>();)
* Compiles Successfully
* The var keyword allows the compiler to infer the type.
* However,the inferred type is HashMap<Object, Object>, which may cause issues when retrieving values.
* Option D (Map<String, List<String>> authorsMap4 = new HashMap<String, ArrayList<String>
>();)
* Compiles Successfully
* Valid declaration:HashMap<K, V> can be assigned to Map<K, V>.
* Using new HashMap<String, ArrayList<String>>() with Map<String, List<String>> isallowed due to polymorphism.
* Correct syntax:
java
Map<String, List<String>> authorsMap4 = new HashMap<String, ArrayList<String>>(); authorsMap4.put("FR", frenchAuthors);
* Option E (Map<String, List<String>> authorsMap5 = new HashMap<String, List<String>>();)
* Compiles Successfully
* HashMap<String, List<String>> isa valid instantiation.
* Correct usage:
java
Map<String, List<String>> authorsMap5 = new HashMap<>();
authorsMap5.put("FR", frenchAuthors);
Thus, the correct answers are:C, D, E

* Error in for Loop Initialization
* The initialization part of a for loopcannot declare multiple variables with different types in a single statement.
* Error:
java
for (int i = 0, int j = 3; i < j; i++) {
* Fix:Declare variables separately:
java
for (int i = 0, j = 3; i < j; i++) {
* lyrics.lines() in Java 21
* The lines() method of String returns aStream<String>, splitting the string by line breaks.
* Calling .toList() on a streamconverts it to a list.
* Valid Code After Fixing the Loop:
java
var lyrics = """
Quand il me prend dans ses bras
Qu'il me parle tout bas
Je vois la vie en rose
""";
for (int i = 0, j = 3; i < j; i++) {
System.out.println(lyrics.lines()
toList()
get(i));
}
* Expected Output After Fixing:
vbnet
Quand il me prend dans ses bras
Qu'il me parle tout bas
Je vois la vie en rose
Thus, the correct answer is:Compilation fails.

In this code, a list of integers integers is created containing the elements 0, 1, and 2. A stream is then created from this list, and the following operations are performed in sequence:
* peek(System.out::print):
* The peek method is an intermediate operation that allows performing an action on each element as it is encountered in the stream. In this case, System.out::print is used to print each element.
However, since peek is intermediate, the printing occurs only when a terminal operation is executed.
* limit(2):
* The limit method is another intermediate operation that truncates the stream to contain no more than the specified number of elements. Here, it limits the stream to the first 2 elements.
* forEach(i -> {}):
* The forEach method is a terminal operation that performs the given action on each element of the stream. In this case, the action is an empty lambda expression (i -> {}), which does nothing for each element.
The sequence of operations can be visualized as follows:
* Original Stream Elements: 0, 1, 2
* After peek(System.out::print): Elements are printed as they are encountered.
* After limit(2): Stream is truncated to 0, 1.
* After forEach(i -> {}): No additional action; serves to trigger the processing.
Therefore, the output of the code is 01, corresponding to the first two elements of the list being printed due to the peek operation.
