1. Why Does Compilation Fail?

The error is in this line:

java

final Stream strings = Files.readAllLines(Paths.get("orders.csv"));

Files.readAllLines(Paths.get("orders.csv")) returns a List<String>,not a Stream<String>.

A List cannot be assigned to a Stream.

2. Correcting the Code

The correct way to create a stream from the file:

java

Stream strings = Files.lines(Paths.get("orders.csv"));

This correctly creates a Stream from the file.

3. Expected Output After Fixing

java

Files.lines(Paths.get("orders.csv"))

skip(1) // Skips the header row

limit(2) // Limits to first two data rows

forEach(System.out::println);

Output:

arduino

1,Kylian Mbappé,Keyboard,2,25.50

2,Teddy Riner,Mouse,1,15.99

Thus, the correct answer is:Compilation fails.
