import java.io.Console;
 
public class Main
{
	public static void main(String[] args)
	{
 
		Console console = System.console();
 
    	char[] passwordArray={'s'};
 
    	char[] passwordArray2 = console.readPassword("Enter your secret password: ");
 
		if((passwordArray==passwordArray2))
    	{
			console.printf("Match\n");
		}
 
		else
