                 Kathy                  2.75


               Answer: P2, 4


               Condition Operator

               The Condition Operator Sc lists the records that satisfy the condition specified by C.

               Example: Consider the table above, what is the output when Sc is applied when C=”GPA > 3”?
               Sc (table):



                 ID Number              First Name             Last Name               GPA
                 326895                 Mercedes               Suarez                  3.4
