Aggregate functions perform a calculation on a set of values and return a single value. Aggregate functions ignore NULL values except COUNT function. HAVING clause is used, along with GROUP BY, for filtering query using aggregate values.

Following functions are aggregate functions. 

AVG, MIN CHECKSUM_AGG, SUM, COUNT, STDEV, COUNT_BIG, STDEVP, GROUPING, VAR, MAX. VARP

PL/SQL exceptions are raised using the RAISE command. This command is used when exceptions are defined by programmer and not implicit exceptions.

Example:

Declare and raising an exception:

DECLARE

short_of_attendance EXCEPTION;

min_attendance NUMBER(4);

BEGIN

...

IF min_attendance < 10 THEN

RAISE short_of_attendance;

END IF;

EXCEPTION

WHEN short_of_attendance THEN

-- handle the error

END;

The standard query operators in LINQ are the extension methods that form the LINQ pattern. These operators form an API that enables querying of any .NET array or collection. It operates on sequences and allows you to perform operations, such as determining if a value exists in the sequence and performing an aggregated function, such as a summation over a sequence.

public class Test {

    public void replaseSpaces(char[] str, int length) {

        int spaceCount = 0, newLength = 0, i = 0;

        for(i = 0; i < length; i++) {

            if (str[i] == ' ') 

                spaceCount++;

        }

        newLength = length + (spaceCount * 2);

        str[newLength] = '\0';

        for(i = length - 1; i >= 0; i--) {

            if (str[i] == ' ') {

                str[newLength - 1] = '0';

                str[newLength - 2] = '2';

                str[newLength - 3] = '%';

                newLength = newLength - 3;

            }

            else {

                str[newLength - 1] = str[i];

                newLength = newLength - 1;

            }

        }

        System.out.println(str);

    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        Test tst = new Test();

        char[] ch = {'t', 'h', 'e', ' ', 'd', 'o', 'g', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' ', ' '};

        int length = 6;

        tst.replaseSpaces(ch, length);  

    }

}

The C++ programming technique allows defining user defined datatypes through structure. The

syntax to declare structure is as follows:

struct student

{

char name[100]

char address[250]

};
