5. Write a PL/SQL block to find the population of a given country in the wf_countries table. Display a message indicating whether the population is greater than or less than 1 billion (1,000,000,000). Test your block twice using India (country_id=91) and United Kingdom (country_id=44). Indias population should be greater than 1 billion, while United Kingdoms should be less than 1 billion.

Extension Activity 1. Write a PL/SQL block to accept a year and check whether it is a leap year. For example, if the year entered is 1990, the output should be 1990 is not a leap year. Hint: The year should be exactly divisible by 4 but not divisible by 100, or it should be divisible by 400. Test your solution with the following years: 1990 2000 1996 1900 1992 1884

Not a leap year Leap year Leap year Not a leap year Leap year Leap year
