The java.lang.StringBuilder.append() method is used to append the string representation of some argument to the sequence. There are 13 ways/forms in which the append() method can be used by the passing of various types of arguments:

StringBuilder append(boolean a) :The java.lang.StringBuilder.append(boolean a) is an inbuilt method in Java which is used to append the string representation of the boolean argument to a given sequence.

Syntax :

public StringBuilder append(boolean a)

Parameter: This method accepts a single parameter a of boolean type and refers to the Boolean value to be appended.

Return Value: The method returns a reference to this object.

Examples:

Input: 
string_buffer = "We are Indians" 
boolean a = true

Output: We are Indians true

Below program illustrates the java.lang.StringBuilder.append() method:

// Java program to illustrate the
// StringBuilder append(boolean a)
import java.lang.*;
  
public class Geeks {
  
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
  
        StringBuilder sb1 = new 
                      StringBuilder("Welcome to Geeksforgeeks ");
        System.out.println("Input: " + sb1);
  
        // Appending the boolean value
        sb1.append(true);
        System.out.println("Output: " + sb1);
  
        System.out.println();
  
        StringBuilder sb2 = new StringBuilder("We fail- ");
