1. What cast function?

What function would you use to cast the id field?

  • toInteger()

  • toLong()

  • int()

  • set()

Hint

The id field is a string and should be cast to an integer number.

Solution

The toInteger() function casts strings to an integer data type.

2. What data type?

What data type would you use for the last_purchased field?

  • String

  • Float

  • Date

  • DateTime

Hint

The last_purchased field holds when the item was last purchased.

Solution

The last_purchased field should be cast as a DateTime because it holds a date and a time.

3. Setting additional labels

Complete the following Cypher statement to set an InPrint label to all nodes that have a still_in_print property value of true.

cypher
MATCH (n)
WHERE n.still_in_print = true
/*select:SET n:InPrint*/
  • SET n:InPrint

  • SET label = InPrint

  • n.InPrint = true

  • LABEL InPrint

Hint

The syntax to set a label on a node is SET x:Label.

Solution

You should use SET n:InPrint to set the InPrint label on the node.

4. Multi-value property?

Which field in the data should be split into a multi-value property?

  • rating

  • genre

  • still_in_print

  • last_purchased

Hint

A multi-value property holds more than one value as a list.

Solution

The genre field can contain multiple values, so it should be a multi-value property.

Summary

In this quiz you checked your understanding of data types, setting labels and multi-value properties.
