Hi Anonymous,

Always innermost function gets executed first,

check below,

SQL> select RTRIM('!! ATHEN !!','!') from dual;

RTRIM('!!
---------
!! ATHEN


You are first doing RTRIM and removing all ! from right side.

Next,

SQL> select LTRIM('!! ATHEN','!') from dual;

LTRIM(
------
ATHEN

You have used LTRIM to remove ! from left.

SQL> select TRANSLATE(' ATHEN', 'AN','**') from dual;

TRANSL
------
*THE*


Now you are using TRANSLATE function to replace A with * and N with *.

SQL> select REPLACE(' *THE*','*','TROUBLE') from dual;

REPLACE('*THE*','*
------------------
TROUBLETHETROUBLE

Finally you are replacing * with TROUBLE.


Hope this is clear.

Regards,
Mithun
