Which of the following are true about the readPassword() method of the Console class? Select two choices.
Options :
A. Its return type is String.
B. It reads the password from the console.
C. It has echoing disabled.
D. It takes a single argument.
E. None of these.
Answers : B & C
The return type of readPassword method is char[] and not String. String is not used to represent password for security reasons as all the strings are stored inside a String pool. A malicious user can take advantage of that. So option A is incorrect. Option D is also incorrect as the API does not contain any readPassword() method with a single argument.
