b. last_name
c. today’s_date
d. Nb_of_days_in_february_this_year
e. #number
f. Number#
g. Isleap$year
h. Number1to100

II. Identify valid variable declarations and initializations

a. v_nb_copies PLS_INTEGER;
b. printer_name CONSTANT VARCHAR2(15);
c. deliver_to VARCHAR2(15) := ASTEC corporation;
d. by_when DATE := CURRENT_DATE +1 (ORACLE built-in functions)

III. Variables scope and visibility

BEGIN <<OUTER>>
DECLARE
v_sal NUMBER(7,2) := 60000;
v_comm NUMBER(7,2) := v_sal * 0.20;
v_message VARCHAR2(255) := ' eligible for commission';
BEGIN
DECLARE
v_sal NUMBER(7,2) := 50000;
v_comm NUMBER(7,2) := 0;
v_total_comp NUMBER(7,2) := v_sal + v_comm;
BEGIN
v_message := 'CLERK not' || v_message; ------------ Position 1
outer.v_comm := v_sal * 0.30;
END;
v_message := 'SALESMAN'||v_message; ------------ Position 2
END;
END outer;

Determine each of the following values according to the rules of scoping:

1. Value of v_message at position 1
2. Value of v_total_comp at position 2
3. Value of v_comm at position 1
4. Value of outer.v_comm at position 1
 5. Value of v_comm at position 2
6. Value of v_message at position 2

IV. Create an anonymous bloc that:

1. Reads first name and salary of the employee 120
2. Prints Hello with the first name
3. Calculates the contribution of the employee which is 12% of the basic salary, the
basic salary being 60% of the salary.
4. Prints the salary of the employee and his contribution.

V. Write a program to interchange the salaries of employee 120 and 122 and print for each of
them his first name, last name and new salary.
