(i) is the Swarts halogen-exchange reaction; (ii) is Markovnikov addition of HBr across the alkene's double bond.

(i) Swarts reaction: treating an alkyl bromide/chloride with a metallic fluoride such as AgF (or Hg₂F₂, CoF₂, SbF₃) replaces the heavier halogen with fluorine, since Ag–Br is a much more stable bond than Ag–F: CH₃Br + AgF → CH₃F + AgBr↓. This is the standard route to alkyl fluorides.
