G. Prerequisite Theory:
Numeric Function :-
1. ABS() : Returns the absolute value of numeric expression.
2. ACOS(): Returns the arccosine of numeric expression. Returns NULL if the value is
not in the range -1 to 1.
3. ASIN() : Returns the arcsine of numeric expression. Returns NULL if value is not in
the range -1 to 1
4. ATAN() : Returns the arctangent of numeric expression.
5. ATN2() : Returns the arctangent of the two variables passed to it.
6. CEILING() : Returns the smallest (closest to negative infinity) integer value that is
greater than or equal to this value.
7. COS() : Returns the trigonometric cosine of the given value.
8. COT() : Returns the trigonometric cotangent of the given value.
9. DEGREES() : Returns numeric expression converted from radians to degrees.
10. EXP() : Returns the base of the natural logarithm (e) raised to the power of passed
numeric expression.
11. FLOOR() : Returns the largest integer value that is not greater than passed numeric
expression.

 Database Management (4331603)

12. LOG() : Returns the natural logarithm of the passed numeric expression.
13. LOG10() : Returns the base-10 logarithm of the passed numeric expression.
14. PI() : Returns the value of pi
15. POWER() : Returns the value of one expression raised to the power of another
expression
16. RADIANS() : Returns the value of passed expression converted from degrees to
radians.
17. RAND() : Returns the random value between 0 and 1.
18. ROUND() : Returns numeric expression rounded to an integer. Can be used to
round an expression to a number of decimal points
19. SIGN() : Returns the sign of a number, indicating whether it is positive, negative, or
zero.
20. SIN() : Returns the sine of numeric expression given in radians.
21. SQRT() : Returns the non-negative square root of numeric expression.
22. TAN() : Returns the tangent of numeric expression expressed in radians.

Date Function :
1. ADDDATE(): It returns a date after a certain time/date interval has been added.
2. ADDTIME(): It returns a time / date time after a certain time interval has been
added.
3. CURDATE(): It returns the current date.
4. CURRENT_DATE(): It returns the current date.
5. CURRENT_TIME(): It returns the current time.
6. CURRENT_TIMESTAMP(): It returns the current date and time.
7. CURTIME(): It returns the current time.
8. DATE(): It extracts the date value from a date or date time expression.
9. DATEDIFF(): It returns the difference in days between two date values.
10. DATE_ADD(): It returns a date after a certain time/date interval has been added.
11. DATE_FORMAT(): It formats a date as specified by a format mask.

12. DATE_SUB(): It returns a date after a certain time/date interval has been
subtracted.
13. DAY(): It returns the day portion of a date value.
14. DAYNAME(): It returns the weekday name for a date.
15. DAYOFMONTH(): It returns the day portion of a date value.
16. DAYWEEK(): It returns the weekday index for a date value.
17. DAYOFYEAR(): It returns the day of the year for a date value.
18. EXTRACT(): It extracts parts from a date.
19. FROM_DAYS(): It returns a date value from a numeric representation of the day.
20. HOUR(): It returns the hour portion of a date value.
21. LAST_DAY(): It returns the last day of the month for a given date.
22. LOCALTIME(): It returns the current date and time.
23. LOCALTIMESTAMP(): It returns the current date and time.
24. MAKEDATE(): It returns the date for a certain year and day-of-year value.
