What is a function?<\/strong><\/p>\n

A function is similar to an operator in operation. A function is a name that performs a specific task. A function
\nmay or may not take values (arguments) but it always returns a value as the result. If function takes values then
\nthese values are to be given within parentheses after the function name. The following is the general format of a
\nfunction.<\/p>\n

Types of functions<\/strong><\/p>\n

Functions are classified based on the type of data on which they perform the operation. The following are the
\ndifferent types of functions available in Oracle.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Arithmetic Functions.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. \u0001Date & Time functions.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. \u0001String functions.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. \u0001Conversion functions.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. \u0001Miscellaneous functions.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. \u0001Group functions<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Arithmetic Functions<\/h1>\n

    In addition to that, the following functions are available:<\/p>\n
