The code will not compile because the variable ‘x’ is declared as final and then it is being modified in the switch statement. This is not allowed in Java. A final variable is a variable whose value cannot be changed once it is initialized1. The switch statement tries to assign different values to ‘x’ depending on the value of ‘y’, which violates the final modifier. The compiler will report an error: The final local variable x cannot be assigned. It must be blank and not using a compound assignment. References: The final Keyword (The Java™ Tutorials > Learning the Java Language > Classes and Objects)

The code fragment will fail to compile because the readObject method in the Product class is missing the @Override annotation. The readObject method is a special method that is used to customize the deserialization process of an object. It must be declared as private, have no return type, and take a single parameter of type ObjectInputStream. It must also be annotated with @Override to indicate that it overrides the default behavior of the ObjectInputStream class. Without the @Override annotation, the compiler will treat the readObject method as a normal method and not as a deserialization hook. Therefore, the code fragment will produce a compilation error. References: Object Serialization - Oracle, [ObjectInputStream (Java SE 17 & JDK 17) - Oracle]
