Explanation of Solution

Computed column in SQL:

  • User can perform computations using SQL queries.
  • A computed column does not occurs in the database however it can be computed by using data present in the existing columns.
  • The computations can involve any arithmetic operator.
  • Computations can computed by using the arithmetic operator such + (addition), - (subtraction), * (multiplication) and / (division).
    • Then write the computation result into a place of a particular column name.

Example:

The example for using computed column in SQL is given below:

SELECT STUDENT_ID, STUDENT_NAME, MAXIMUM_LIMIT – SCORE FROM STUDENT;

The above query is used to display student id, student name and student credit from “STUDENT” table...

Explanation of Solution

    • Name the computation with the word “AS”.
    • User desired name.

Need help answering these questions!1. Design a While loop that lets the user enter a number. The number should be multiplied by 10, and the result stored in a variable named product. The loop should iterate as long as the product contains a value less than 100.   2. Design a For loop that displays the following set of numbers: 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 . . . 1000   3. Convert the While loop in the following code to a Do-While loop:     Declare Integer x = 1     While x > 0        Display "Enter a number."        Input x     End While
