The following Java statements give an error. What is the correct way to rectify this?byte b = 50; b = b * 2;    Group of answer choicesb = byte(b2);b = int(b2);b = (int) (b2);b = (byte) (b2);

Solution

The correct way to rectify the error in the Java statements is:

b = (byte) (b*2);

Explanation: In Java, the result of an arithmetic operation between two byte, short, or int values is an int. So, the result of b*2 is an int. However, the variable b is a byte. Java does not automatically convert an int to a byte because an int is larger than a byte and this conversion could result in loss of data. Therefore, you need to explicitly cast the result of the operation to a byte using (byte).
