In which section of the stored function declaration are the input parameters defined?BEGINEXECUTERETURNPARAMETERSNext

In a stored function declaration, the input parameters are defined after the function name and before the BEGIN keyword. The typical structure of a stored function declaration resembles the following pattern:

CREATE FUNCTION function_name(parameter1 datatype, parameter2 datatype, ...)
RETURNS return_datatype
BEGIN
    -- function body
END;

Explanation:

1. Function Name: The name given to the stored function.
2. Parameters: This is where the input parameters are defined. Each parameter is specified with a name and a datatype. This section allows the function to accept input when it is called.
3. Returns: Specifies the datatype of the value that the function will return.
4. BEGIN: Marks the beginning of the function's implementation where operations on the parameters are defined.

Based on this structure, the input parameters come immediately after the function name and before the function body starts with the BEGIN statement.
