Given the code fragment:
The code fragment compares four pairs of strings using the equals() and intern() methods. The equals() method compares the content of two strings, while the intern() method returns a canonical representation of a string, which means that it returns a reference to an existing string with the same content in the string pool. The string pool is a memory area where strings are stored and reused to save space and improve performance. The results of the comparisons are as follows:
s1.equals(s2): This returns true because both s1 and s2 have the same content, ''Hello Java 17''.
s1 == s2: This returns false because s1 and s2 are different objects with different references, even though they have the same content. The == operator compares the references of two objects, not their content.
s1.intern() == s2.intern(): This returns true because both s1.intern() and s2.intern() return a reference to the same string object in the string pool, which has the content ''Hello Java 17''. The intern() method ensures that there is only one copy of each distinct string value in the string pool.
''Hello Java 17'' == s2: This returns false because ''Hello Java 17'' is a string literal, which is automatically interned and stored in the string pool, while s2 is a string object created with the new operator, which is not interned by default and stored in the heap. Therefore, they have different references and are not equal using the == operator.
Given:
Which two should the module-info file include for it to represent the service provider interface?
The answer is B and E because the module-info file should include a provides directive and an exports directive to represent the service provider interface. The provides directive declares that the module provides an implementation of a service interface, which is com.transport.vehicle.cars.Car in this case. The with clause specifies the fully qualified name of the service provider class, which is com.transport.vehicle.cars.impl.CarImpl in this case. The exports directive declares that the module exports a package, which is com.transport.vehicle.cars in this case, to make it available to other modules. The package contains the service interface that other modules can use.
Option A is incorrect because requires is not the correct keyword to declare a service provider interface. Requires declares that the module depends on another module, which is not the case here.
Option C is incorrect because it has a typo in the module name. It should be com.transport.vehicle.cars, not cm.transport.vehicle.cars.
Option D is incorrect because it has a typo in the keyword provides. It should be provides, not Provides. It also has a typo in the service interface name. It should be com.transport.vehicle.cars.Car, not com.transport.vehicle.cars.Car impl. It also has an unnecessary to clause, which is used to limit the accessibility of an exported package to specific modules.
Option F is incorrect because it exports the wrong package. It should export com.transport.vehicle.cars, not com.transport.vehicle.cars.impl. The impl package contains the service provider class, which should not be exposed to other modules.
Option G is incorrect because it exports the wrong package. It should export com.transport.vehicle.cars, not com.transport.vehicle. The vehicle package does not contain the service interface or the service provider class.Reference:

Assume you have an automatic module from the module path display-ascii-0.2. jar. Which name is given to the automatic module based on the given JAR file?
An automatic module name is derived from the name of the JAR file when it does not contain amodule-info.classfile. If the JAR file has an ''Automatic-Module-Name'' attribute in its main manifest, then its value is the module name. Otherwise, the module name is derived from the JAR file's name by removing any version numbers and converting it to lower case. Therefore, for a JAR nameddisplay-ascii-0.2.jar, the automatic module name would bedisplay-ascii, following these rules.
