Your Age is 50

No of Years Left to retired is 15

Here Age is the only required input to calculate the retirement age of employee. if entered age is greater than 65 then a message is printed " You are already cross the retired age. Or Enter Invalid Age. " if entered age is valid then retiredAge is calculated with the formula retiredAge = (65-age). and finally display the age,followed by the number of years left to retirement.

Therefore 1 input are required for the above program.

What is the output of the following query? SELECT INSERT ('Knowledgeable', 5, 6, 'SUPER');

Scrat [10]

Answer:

The above query gives an error.

Explanation:

The query gives an error because is not the correct syntax of the select or inserts query.
The syntax of the select query is as follows: "select Attributes_1_name, Attributes_2_name,...., Attributes_n_name from table_name;".
The syntax of the insert query is : "insert into table_name (column_1_name, column_2_name,...,column_n_name) values (column_1_value, column_2_value,...,column_n_value);".
The syntax of the insert and select query is : "insert into table_name (select Attributes_1_name, Attributes_2_name,...., Attributes_n_name from table_name);".
But the above query does not satisfy any property which is defined above. Hence it gives a compile-time error.
