SELECT price WHERE price = ROUND(1.4 / 1) GROUP BY "price.gbp" FROM products;

Here's a few hints:

  • the instructions say to return "the product name and price..." but the name is missing here
  • they also say "Alias the calculated price to price_gbp." (with an underscore instead of a period)
  • you won't need a WHERE clause since you will be returning all rows
  • you also won't need a GROUP BY
  • recheck the syntax for using the ROUND function

Extra hint: there's an example of a very similar task at the end of the previous video.

SELECT name, ROUND(price 1.4/1, 2) AS "price_gbp"; still did not get it trying to make sense.

The first term in the ROUND should be a valid math expression, and "price 1.4/1" isn't quite right.

thanks

SELECT price FROM products WHERE price = ROUND(1.25/1) GROUP BY price_gbp;

Most of the original hints still need to be applied. And where did the number "1.25" come from?

still wrong uggg

SELECT name FROM products, price = ROUND(1.4 / 1,2) as "price_gbp";

Functions and aliases belong in the SELECT clause (as explained in your other question). The function syntax itself needs a bit of work, take another look at the example near the end of the last video.

SELECT name, ROUND(price / 1,2) as "price_gdp" FROM products;

still wrong

Really close now, just 2 issues left:

  • the exchange rate given in the instructions is 1.4 instead of 1
  • the instructions ask for an alias of "price_gbp" instead of "price_gdp"

i got it now thanks agian
