Concept explainers

In mathematics and computer science, an operation is an event that is carried out to satisfy a given task. Basic operations of a computer system are input, processing, output, storage, and control.

Basic Operators

An operator is a symbol that indicates an operation to be performed. We are familiar with operators in mathematics; operators used in computer programming are—in many ways—similar to mathematical operators.

Division Operator

We all learnt about division—and the division operator—in school. You probably know of both these symbols as representing division:

Modulus Operator

Modulus can be represented either as (mod or modulo) in computing operation. Modulus comes under arithmetic operations. Any number or variable which produces absolute value is modulus functionality. Magnitude of any function is totally changed by modulo …

Operators

In the realm of programming, operators refer to the symbols that perform some function. They are tasked with instructing the compiler on the type of action that needs to be performed on the values passed as operands. Operators can be used in mathematical…

Hands-On Assignments Part II Assignment 1-5: Querying the DoGood Donor Database Review the DoGood Donor data by writing and running SQL statements to perform the following tasks: 1. List each donor who has made a pledge and indicated a single lump sum payment. Include first name, last name, pledge date, and pledge amount. 2. List each donor who has made a pledge and indicated monthly payments over one year. Include first name, last name, pledge date, and pledge amount. Also, display the monthly payment amount. (Equal monthly payments are made for all pledges paid in monthly payments.) 3. Display an unduplicated list of projects (ID and name) that have pledges committed. Don't display all projects defined; list only those that have pledges assigned. 4. Display the number of pledges made by each donor. Include the donor ID, first name, last name, and number of pledges. 5. Display all pledges made before March 8, 2012. Include all column data from the DD PLEDGE table.
