Identify correct statements about java.io.Console class?

"You can read as well as write only character data from/to it." -- is selected as the correct answer.

for the readLine method, the API states:
"Returns:
A string containing the line read from the console, not including any line-termination characters, or null if an end of stream has been reached.

So when you say

only character data

, are you referring to characters that make up a String?

Thank you

Well, the characters captured by the Console are returned by readLine() as a String object.
