2837. Total Traveled Distance

Description

Table: Users

+-------------+---------+
| Column Name | Type    |
+-------------+---------+
| user_id     | int     |
| name        | varchar |
+-------------+---------+
user_id is the column with unique values for this table.
Each row of this table contains user id and name.

Table: Rides

+--------------+------+
| Column Name  | Type |
+--------------+------+
| ride_id      | int  |
| user_id      | int  | 
| distance     | int  |
+--------------+------+
ride_id is the column of unique values for this table.
Each row of this table contains ride id, user id, and traveled distance.

Write a solution to calculate the distance traveled by each user. If there is a user who hasn't completed any rides, then their distance should be considered as 0. Output the user_id, name and total traveled distance.

Return the result table ordered by user_id in ascending order.

The result format is in the following example.

Example 1:

Input: 
Users table:
+---------+---------+
| user_id | name    |
+---------+---------+
| 17      | Addison |
| 14      | Ethan   |
| 4       | Michael |
| 2       | Avery   |
| 10      | Eleanor |
+---------+---------+
Rides table:
+---------+---------+----------+
| ride_id | user_id | distance |
+---------+---------+----------+
| 72      | 17      | 160      |
| 42      | 14      | 161      |
| 45      | 4       | 59       |
| 32      | 2       | 197      |
| 15      | 4       | 357      |
| 56      | 2       | 196      |
| 10      | 14      | 25       |
+---------+---------+----------+
Output: 
+---------+---------+-------------------+
| user_id | name    | traveled distance |
+---------+---------+-------------------+
| 2       | Avery   | 393               |
| 4       | Michael | 416               |
| 10      | Eleanor | 0                 |
| 14      | Ethan   | 186               |
| 17      | Addison | 160               |
+---------+---------+-------------------+
Explanation: 
-  User id 2 completed two journeys of 197 and 196, resulting in a combined travel distance of 393.
-  User id 4 completed two journeys of 59 and 357, resulting in a combined travel distance of 416.
-  User id 14 completed two journeys of 161 and 25, resulting in a combined travel distance of 186.
-  User id 16 completed only one journey of 160.
-  User id 10 did not complete any journeys, thus the total travel distance remains at 0.
Returning the table orderd by user_id in ascending order.

Solutions

Solution 1: Left Join + Group By Sum

We can use a left join to connect the two tables, and then use group by sum to calculate the total distance for each user. Note that if a user has not completed any rides, their distance should be considered as $0$.

# Write your MySQL query statement below
SELECT user_id, name, IFNULL(SUM(distance), 0) AS 'traveled distance'
FROM
    Users
    LEFT JOIN Rides USING (user_id)
GROUP BY 1
ORDER BY 1;
