Exercise

Adding multiple columns (II)

In this exercise, you will add the same columns as in the previous exercise, using the functional form. In the functional form, you use the colon equal to operator (:=) as a function. Recall that when using operators as functions, they should be wrapped inside backticks, `:=`(). Inside the function call, you pass comma-separated col_name = expression values.
