                   }
                   // Prompt the user to enter a city
                   String city = console.readLine(“Enter your favorite city: “);

                   // Display the entered city
                   System.out.println(“Your favorite city is: “ + city);
               }
           }

           Step 1: Import Console Class








           Explanation:
           •  The import java.io.Console; statement is used to import the Console class from the java.io package.

           •  The Console class provides methods for interacting with the console, allowing secure input without echoing
              characters (useful for reading sensitive information like passwords).
           Step 2: Define Class and Main Method









           Explanation:
           •  The code defines a class named ConsoleExample1.

           •  Inside the class, there is the main method, which serves as the entry point of the program. The main method
              is the first method that gets executed when the program runs.
           Step 3: Get Console Object








           Explanation:

           •  The System.console() method is used to obtain a reference to the console.
           •  If the console is not available (for example, if the program is running in an environment without a console, such
              as some IDEs), the method returns null.

           Step 4: Check for Console Availability
