QUERY EXPLANATION

1.To calculate the number of users from each


segment we are simply using COUNT with Distinct
user_id.

2.To get the number of users who booked flight in


April 2022 we are using CASE WHEN statment.
Here, to get date as April 2022 we have made use of
FORMAT function.

We have made use of LEFT join so that we can count


all the users from each segment. If we hadn't used
LEFT join then there might have been chances that all
users have booked hotel or flight.

concepts for these questions were already covered in Ankit
Bansal's interview series. Thus, I was exactly able to solve
similar way Ankit Sir did.
