Weather Observation Station 18

Consider P1(a,b) and P2(c,d) to be two points on a 2D plane.

• a happens to equal the minimum value in Northern Latitude (LAT_N in STATION).
• b happens to equal the minimum value in Western Longitude (LONG_W in STATION).
• c happens to equal the maximum value in Northern Latitude (LAT_N in STATION).
• d happens to equal the maximum value in Western Longitude (LONG_W in STATION).

Query the Manhattan Distance between points P1 and P2 and round it to a scale of 4 decimal places.

Input Format

The STATION table is described as follows:

where LAT_N is the northern latitude and LONG_W is the western longitude.

Solution Implementation

SELECT ROUND(ABS(MIN(LAT_N)-MAX(LAT_N))+ABS(MIN(LONG_W)-MAX(LONG_W)),4)
FROM STATION;
