Problem
Table: Steps
+-------------+------+ | Column Name | Type | +-------------+------+ | user_id | int | | steps_count | int | | steps_date | date | +-------------+------+ (user_id, steps_date) is the primary key for this table. Each row of this table contains user_id, steps_count, and steps_date.
Write a solution to calculate 3-day
rolling averages of steps for each user.
We calculate the n-day
rolling average this way:
- For each day, we calculate the average of
n
consecutive days of step counts ending on that day if available, otherwise,n-day
rolling average is not defined for it.
Output the user_id
, steps_date
, and rolling average. Round the rolling average to two decimal places.
Return the result table ordered by user_id
, steps_date
in ascending order.
The result format is in the following example.

Example 1:
Input: Steps table: +---------+-------------+------------+ | user_id | steps_count | steps_date | +---------+-------------+------------+ | 1 | 687 | 2021-09-02 | | 1 | 395 | 2021-09-04 | | 1 | 499 | 2021-09-05 | | 1 | 712 | 2021-09-06 | | 1 | 576 | 2021-09-07 | | 2 | 153 | 2021-09-06 | | 2 | 171 | 2021-09-07 | | 2 | 530 | 2021-09-08 | | 3 | 945 | 2021-09-04 | | 3 | 120 | 2021-09-07 | | 3 | 557 | 2021-09-08 | | 3 | 840 | 2021-09-09 | | 3 | 627 | 2021-09-10 | | 5 | 382 | 2021-09-05 | | 6 | 480 | 2021-09-01 | | 6 | 191 | 2021-09-02 | | 6 | 303 | 2021-09-05 | +---------+-------------+------------+ Output: +---------+------------+-----------------+ | user_id | steps_date | rolling_average | +---------+------------+-----------------+ | 1 | 2021-09-06 | 535.33 | | 1 | 2021-09-07 | 595.67 | | 2 | 2021-09-08 | 284.67 | | 3 | 2021-09-09 | 505.67 | | 3 | 2021-09-10 | 674.67 | +---------+------------+-----------------+ Explanation: - For user id 1, the step counts for the three consecutive days up to 2021-09-06 are available. Consequently, the rolling average for this particular date is computed as (395 + 499 + 712) / 3 = 535.33. - For user id 1, the step counts for the three consecutive days up to 2021-09-07 are available. Consequently, the rolling average for this particular date is computed as (499 + 712 + 576) / 3 = 595.67. - For user id 2, the step counts for the three consecutive days up to 2021-09-08 are available. Consequently, the rolling average for this particular date is computed as (153 + 171 + 530) / 3 = 284.67. - For user id 3, the step counts for the three consecutive days up to 2021-09-09 are available. Consequently, the rolling average for this particular date is computed as (120 + 557 + 840) / 3 = 505.67. - For user id 3, the step counts for the three consecutive days up to 2021-09-10 are available. Consequently, the rolling average for this particular date is computed as (557 + 840 + 627) / 3 = 674.67. - For user id 4 and 5, the calculation of the rolling average is not viable as there is insufficient data for the consecutive three days. Output table ordered by user_id and steps_date in ascending order.
