Java SE 8 Programmer II — Question 118

Given:
class Student {
String course, name, city;
public Student (String name, String course, String city) {
this.course = course; this.name = name; this.city = city;
}
public String toString() {
return course + ":" + name + ":" + city;
}
public String getCourse() {return course;}
public String getName() {return name;}
public String getCity() {return city;}
and the code fragment:
List<Student> stds = Arrays.asList(
new Student ("Jessy", "Java ME", "Chicago"),
new Student ("Helen", "Java EE", "Houston"),
new Student ("Mark", "Java ME", "Chicago"));
stds.stream()
.collect(Collectors.groupingBy(Student::getCourse))
.forEach(src, res) -> System.out.println(scr));
What is the result?

Answer options

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The code contains a syntax error in the forEach method; it should use a lambda expression for the parameters. As a result, the code does not compile, leading to option A being correct. Since a compilation error occurs, options B, C, and D cannot be valid outputs.
