Raspberry Pi - Serial UART Communication

A<class 'bytes'>

B<class 'str'>

C<class 'int'>

D<class 'list'>

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand serial.readline() return type
serial.readline() returns bytes, not string, until decoded.
Step 2: Check print output
Printing type(line) shows .
Final Answer:
<class 'bytes'> -> Option A
Quick Check:
serial.readline() returns bytes [OK]

Quick Trick: serial.readline() returns bytes, decode to get string [OK]

Common Mistakes:

MISTAKES

Assuming readline returns string
Expecting int or list type
