1715. Count Apples and Oranges

Leetcode Solutions

Using LEFT JOIN and COALESCE to Aggregate Fruit Counts

  • Perform a LEFT JOIN on the Boxes table with the Chests table using the chest_id as the joining key.
  • Use the COALESCE function to substitute a 0 for any null values resulting from the LEFT JOIN (i.e., when a box does not contain a chest).
  • Sum the apple and orange counts from the Boxes table and the corresponding counts from the Chests table (if any) to get the total counts.
  • Return the total apple and orange counts as the final result.
