Extended Definition:
1. The cells to be altered are initially addressed by the ‘object_table name’. Next, the cells to be altered are marked by selecting the required cells.
2. The parameter ‘strings’ will replace all the contents in the selected cells with the new contents specified.
3. The mode of insertion of the new row contents depends on the choices like ‘append’, ‘prefix’, or ‘replace’ denoted by the parameter ‘action’.
