StringBuffer deleteCharAt() Method in Java with Examples

The Java.lang.StringBuffer.deleteCharAt() is a built-in Java method which removes the char at the specified position in this sequence. So that the sequence is reduced by 1 char.

Syntax: 

public StringBuffer deleteCharAt(int indexpoint)

Parameters : The method accepts a single parameter indexpoint of integer type which refers to the index of the char to be removed.
Return Value: The function returns the string or returns this object after removing the character.
Exception : If the indexpoint is negative or greater than or equal to length(), then the method throws StringIndexOutOfBoundsException.

Examples:

Input : StringBuffer = worldofgeeks
        int indexpoint = 4
Output : worlofgeeks
