What output is produced by the following program? 

public class ParameterMysteryMajor {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String major = "fred";
        String fred = "computer";
        String computer = "department";
        String department = "student";
        String student = "major";
        sentence(major, fred, department);
        sentence(student, computer, fred);
        sentence("fred", "honor", computer);
        sentence("foo", "bar", "baz");
    }
    
    public static void sentence(String major, String fred, String foo) {
        System.out.println("Many a " + foo + " in the " + fred + " of " + major);
    }
}

Write the output of each call as it would appear on the console. (Do not put quotes around your answers.)

sentence(major, fred, department);
