4. Given the following declaration:

StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder;
Which of the following are valid uses of the sb variable?
a. sb.append(34.5);
b. sb.deleteCharAt(34.5);
c. sb.toInteger(3);
d. sb.toString();

Answer for this question is given as a,b and d. However, b is incorrect as

it passes a double value which deleteCharAt method does not accept. Hence, it
is invalid.

It should be:

Answer to this question should be a and d.

Without the use of the cast operator in such situations, the compiler will issue a warning. The warning is there to
suggest that you look more closely at the assignments. The loss of precision may or may not be a problem,
depending upon the use of the data within the application. Without a cast operator, an implicit cast is made when
the code is executed.

Should be:
