SQL Problem Statement:

Query the average population for all cities in CITY, rounded down to the nearest integer.



Input Format:

The CITY table is described as follows:

CITY Columns




Solution-1: Using ROUND & AVG Function (MySQL Query):

SELECT ROUND(AVG(POPULATION), 0)
FROM CITY;

NOTE: 
  1. AVG is an aggregation function used to calculate the average of the values of all the records in the specified column name passed to the function.
  2. ROUND Function is used to round the decimal numbers up to mentioned length after the decimal point. Here, 0 is passed because we want integer value (i.e. no number after the decimal point)
    Eg.
    ROUND(2.77, 0) will return 3
    ROUND(2.37, 0) will return 2




Solution-2: Using FLOOR & AVG Function (MySQL Query):

SELECT FLOOR(AVG(POPULATION))
FROM CITY;

NOTE: 
  1. AVG is an aggregation function used to calculate the average of the values of all the records in the specified column name passed to the function.
  2. FLOOR function is used to round down the decimal number to the nearest integer (smaller than or equal to the input number.)
    Eg.
    FLOOR(2.7) will return 2 




Sample Output:

454250
