  • Nice question thanks

  • How about

    newid() = '00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000'

    The question is not correct. Answer is 0 (zero).

  • Very good explanation!

    Here is why the first select may return 1,-1,negative and the second only 1 and negative.

    The same side effect of "C" macros:

    #define abs(a) (a < 0? a*-1: a )

    int a = 1;

    print("Result %d",abs(++a));

    Result 3

    select

    isnull(

    nullif( convert( varchar, sign( checksum( upper(newid()) ) ) ), '-1' )

    , 'negative'

    )

    declare @U uniqueidentifier = newid()

    select

    isnull(

    nullif( convert( varchar, sign( checksum( @U ) ) ), '-1' )

    , 'negative'

    )

    go 10

    How about

    newid() = '00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000'

    The question is not correct. Answer is 0 (zero).

    The question asked which of the answers were possible outputs of the statement. It never stated that *all* of the possible outputs were listed as answers. Plus, is it even possible for NEWID() to return a value that's all zeroes?

  • Definitely learnt something new today! Was very confused at first but a great explanation too - makes it simple. - Thanks.

  • This was removed by the editor as SPAM

  • Dang It! Did it again. I did NOT get my coffee before answering the question. Thus, missed it again. Good question.

  • Good question!

    *kicks self* - I knew this, have been bitten by it before, and STILL managed to get it wrong. Obviously need to be bittenn a lot more before it finally sinks in enough that I don't forget about it anymore... ๐Ÿ˜‰
