HackerRank SQL Solution - Basic Select - Weather Observation Station 4

• Find the difference between the total number of CITY entries in the table and the number of distinct CITY entries in the table.
• The STATION table is described as follows:

• where LAT_N is the northern latitude and LONG_W is the western longitude.
• For example, if there are three records in the table with CITY values 'New York', 'New York', 'Bengalaru', there are 2 different city names: 'New York' and 'Bengalaru'. The query returns 1, because
• total number of records - number of unique city names = 3 - 2 = 1.

Solution:

/* Editor - MySQL */

select (count(city) - count(distinct(city))) from station;
