A country is big if it has an area of bigger than 3 million square km or a population of more than 25 million. (595. Big Countries)

Write a SQL solution to output big countries' name, population and area. For example, according to the above table, we should output:

+--------------+-------------+--------------+
| name         | population  | area         |
+--------------+-------------+--------------+
| Afghanistan  | 25500100    | 652230       |
| Algeria      | 37100000    | 2381741      |
+--------------+-------------+--------------+

##Quiz 2 Suppose that a website contains two tables, the Customers table and the Orders table. Write a SQL query to find all customers who never order anything. (183. Customers Who Never Order)

Table: Customers.

+----+-------+
| Id | Name  |
+----+-------+
| 1  | Joe   |
| 2  | Henry |
| 3  | Sam   |
| 4  | Max   |
+----+-------+

Table: Orders.

+----+------------+
| Id | CustomerId |
+----+------------+
| 1  | 3          |
| 2  | 1          |
+----+------------+

Using the above tables as example, return the following:

+-----------+
| Customers |
+-----------+
| Henry     |
| Max       |
+-----------+

##Quiz 3

You're given strings J representing the types of stones that are jewels, and S representing the stones you have. Each character in S is a type of stone you have. You want to know how many of the stones you have are also jewels.

The letters in J are guaranteed distinct, and all characters in J and S are letters. Letters are case sensitive, so "a" is considered a different type of stone from "A". (771. Jewels and Stones)

Test Case 1:

Input: J = "aA", S = "aAAbbbb"
Output: 3

Test Case 2:

Input: J = "z", S = "ZZ"
Output: 0

Note:

  • S and J will consist of letters and have length at most 50.
  • The characters in J are distinct.

Example Code (Ruby):

# @param {String} j
# @param {String} s
# @return {Integer}
def num_jewels_in_stones(j, s)
end  

##Quiz 4

Initially, there is a Robot at position (0, 0). Given a sequence of its moves, judge if this robot makes a circle, which means it moves back to the original place.

The move sequence is represented by a string. And each move is represent by a character. The valid robot moves are R (Right), L (Left), U (Up) and D (down). The output should be true or false representing whether the robot makes a circle. (657. Judge Route Circle)

Test Case 1:

Input: "UD"
Output: true

Test Case 2:

Input: "LL"
Output: false

Example Code (Ruby):

# @param {String} moves
# @return {Boolean}
def judge_circle(moves)
end
