PL/SQL Fundamentals Exercises: PL/SQL block to create procedure and call it for NOT operator

PL/SQL Fundamentals: Exercise-14 with Solution

Write a PL/SQL block to create a procedure using the "IS [NOT] NULL Operator" and show NOT operator returns the opposite of its operand, unless the operand is NULL.

Here is the procedure:

PL/SQL Code:

CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE pri_bool(
  boo_name   VARCHAR2,
  boo_val    BOOLEAN
) IS
BEGIN
  IF boo_val IS NULL THEN
    DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE( boo_name || ' = NULL');
  ELSIF boo_val = TRUE THEN
    DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE( boo_name || ' = TRUE');
  ELSE
    DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE( boo_name || ' = FALSE');
  END IF;
END;
/

Now call the procedure pri_bool:

PL/SQL Code:

DECLARE
  PROCEDURE pri_not_m (
    m  BOOLEAN
  ) IS
  BEGIN
    pri_bool ('m', m);
    pri_bool ('NOT m', NOT m);
  END pri_not_m;
 
BEGIN
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('------------- FOR m TRUE ---------------------');
  pri_not_m (TRUE);
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('------------- FOR m FALSE ---------------------');
  pri_not_m (FALSE);
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('------------- FOR m NULL ---------------------');
  pri_not_m (NULL);
END;
/

Sample Output:

------------- FOR m TRUE ---------------------
m = TRUE
NOT m = FALSE
------------- FOR m FALSE ---------------------
m = FALSE
NOT m = TRUE
------------- FOR m NULL ---------------------
m = NULL
NOT m = NULL

Procedure

Now call the procedure pri_bool:

Previous: Write a PL/SQL block to create a procedure using the "IS [NOT] NULL Operator" and show  OR operator  returns TRUE if either operand is TRUE.
Next: Write a PL/SQL block to describe the usage of NULL values in equal comparison, unequal comparison and NOT  NULL equals NULL comparison.
