Solution

The error in the given Java code is due to the fact that the multiplication operation is converting the result into an integer. In Java, when two bytes are multiplied, the result is an integer. Therefore, b * 50 results in an integer.

However, the variable b is declared as a byte. In Java, a byte has a maximum value of 127, and an integer is larger than a byte. Therefore, you cannot store an integer value in a byte without explicit casting.

So, the correct code should be:

byte b = 50;
b = (byte)(b * 50);

This code first multiplies b by 50, then explicitly casts the result to a byte before storing it back in b.
