Aggregate FunctionsMINreturns the smallest value in a given columnMAXreturns the largest value in a given columnSUMreturns the sum of the numeric values in a given columnAVGreturns the average value of a given columnCOUNTreturns the total number of values in a given columnCOUNT(*)returns the number of rows in a table

Aggregate functions are used to compute against a "returned column of numeric data" from your SELECT statement. They basically summarize the results of a particular column of selected data. We are covering these here since they are required by the next topic, "GROUP BY". Although they are required for the "GROUP BY" clause, these functions can be used without the "GROUP BY" clause. For example:

SELECT AVG(salary)

FROM employee;

This statement will return a single result which contains the average value of everything returned in the salary column from the employee table.

Another example:

SELECT AVG(salary)

FROM employee;

WHERE title = 'Programmer';

This statement will return the average salary for all employees whose title is equal to 'Programmer'

Example:

SELECT Count(*)

FROM employees;

This particular statement is slightly different from the other aggregate functions since there isn't a column supplied to the count function. This statement will return the number of rows in the employees table

Explain the allocation of memory cells when a function is called?

When you call a function, the stack pointer is adjusted to cater for the function's arguments (if any), the caller's return address (mandatory), the function's local variables (if any) and the function's exception handlers (if any).


Where is f(x) discontinuous but not differentiable Explain?

Wherever a function is differentiable, it must also be continuous. The opposite is not true, however. For example, the absolute value function, f(x) =|x|, is not differentiable at x=0 even though it is continuous everywhere.

Why all variables are declared with in the function?

It is not necessary to to declare variables inside the function in C. If you declare a variable inside a function, the variable becomes local for the function and another variable of same name can be declared in any other function, but you can not use the variable declared in other function. When you declare any variable outside the function body then the variable becomes global and can be used in any function of the program. Note: errno is an example for a variable declared outside any function.


What is a real-life example of composition of functions?

Think of the function associated with a voice recording you made say with Audicity or any other recording software. That is a function f. Applying any effect is a composition of function. If for example one amplified his/her recording, then a composition is done. That is we used Aof i,e A(f).
