Common Mistakes

Using INT() which truncates decimals instead of FLOAT().

Passing the number 12.34 directly without quotes.

Use FLOAT() to convert the string "12.34" to a number, then ROUND() to round it.

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using single quotes instead of double quotes for the date string.

Skipping the YEAR() function and converting the whole date to string.

Using INT() instead of STR() to convert the year number to string.

First convert the string "2023-06-01" to a date using DATE(), then extract the year with YEAR(), and finally convert the year number to string with STR().
