    "Here is my implementation: select marketing_channel, AVG(purchasevalue) as avgpurchase_value from attribution group by marketing_channel order by avgpurchasevalue DESC ; There is no need to copy and past the line of code for calculating the average into order by, just Alias is enough because going by the order of execution in sql, Always, order by is executed after executing select clause."

    "Problem Statement: The Fibonacci sequence is defined as F(n) = F(n-1) + F(n-2) with F(0) = 1 and F(1) = 1. The solution is given in the problem statement itself. If the value of n = 0, return 1. If the value of n = 1, return 1. Otherwise, return the sum of data at (n - 1) and (n - 2). Explanation: The Fibonacci sequence is a series of numbers where each number is the sum of the two preceding ones, typically starting with 0 and 1. Java Solution: public static int fib(int n"

To find the maximum depth of the dependencies given a list of nodes, each having a unique string id and a list of subnodes it depends on, you can perform a depth-first search (DFS) to traverse the dependency graph. Here's how you can implement this: Represent the nodes and their dependencies using a dictionary. Perform a DFS on each node to find the maximum depth of the dependencies.
