Chapter 8, Problem 10TD
Explanation of Solution
a.
MONTHS_BETWEEN ():
The function “MONTHS_BETWEEN” is used to return the number of months between dates. If the “date1” is future than “date2”, then the result is positive. If the “date1” is previous than “date2”, then the result is negative.
Syntax:
MONTHS_BETWEEN (DATE1, DATE2)
Example:
Consider an example for the “MONTHS_BETWEEN ()” function in Oracle is as follows:
SELECT MONTHS_BETWEEN (TO_DATE ('11-03-2019', 'MM/DD/YYYY'), TO_DATE ('06-16-2014', 'MM/DD/YYYY')) "Months" FROM DUAL;
Explanation:
The above query is used to display the difference between “11-03-2019” and “06-16-2014” dates.
Difference between “CURRENT_DATE” and “SYSDATE” function:
| “CURRENT_DATE” function | “SYSDATE” function |
| The “CURRENT_DATE” function is used to return the current date. Depending on user input (numeric or string), it will return the current date in “YYYY-MM-DD” OR “YYYYMMDD” format. | The “SYSDATE” function is used to return the current date and time for the |
| The syntax for “CURRENT_DATE” is “CURRENT_DATE ();” | The syntax for “SYSDATE” is “SYSDATE ();” |
Functions in Oracle, SQL Server and Access:
“No”, the “MONTHS_BETWEEN ()” function is not available in SQL Server, and Access, but other functions are present in the Oracle, SQL Server, and Access.
- The “DATEDIFF” function can be used to return the number of months given a starting date and an ending date in the SQL Server.
“MONTHS_BETWEEN ()” in Oracle:
- The function “MONTHS_BETWEEN” is used to return the number of months between dates.
- Syntax is “MONTHS_BETWEEN (DATE1, DATE2)”
- Example is “SELECT MONTHS_BETWEEN (TO_DATE ('11-03-2019', 'MM/DD/YYYY'), TO_DATE ('06-16-2014', 'MM/DD/YYYY')) "Months" FROM DUAL;”...

- Python - need help creating a python program that will sum the digits of a number entered by the user. For example if the user inputs the value 243 the program will output 9 because 2 + 4 + 3 = 9. The program should ask for a single integer from the user, it should then calculate the sum of all the digits of that number and output the result.arrow_forwardI need help with this in Python (with flowchart): Im creating a reverse guessing game. Then to choose a random number from 1 to 100 and the computer program will attempt to guess it, displaying the directions calculated or not. The guess will be displayed and the user will answer if it was correct or not. If correct, the game ends, if not then the computer asks if the guess was too high or too low. Finally inputting an answer and the computer generates a new guess within the proper range. Oh and to make sure the program doesnt guess outside of the ranges produced by the inputs of “too high” and “too low”. The program ending when the user guesses correctly or after the program takes 6 guesses. HELP ASAP!arrow_forwardI need help with this in Python (with flowchart): Im creating a reverse guessing game.
