How to use the MAKEDATE() function in MySQL and MariaDB databases

In MySQL and MariaDB the MAKEDATE() function is used to create a date based on a specific year and day of the year. The function returns the date in the format "YYYY-MM-DD" and can be used to combine the result with other date functions to perform calculations or manipulations, for example to add or subtract days to a given date. MAKEDATE() takes leap years into account when calculating the date. February 29 is treated correctly in leap years.
