Filling missing values using ISNULL()

In the previous exercise, you practiced how to exclude and select the rows with NULL values. However, depending on the business assumptions behind your data, you may want to select all the rows with NULL values, but replacing these NULL values with another value. You can do it using ISNULL().

Now, you want to replace all the NULL values for the airport_city and airport_state columns with the word 'Unknown', using ISNULL().
