Find all orders with a `total` greater than or equal to `100`.

Problem Statement

<p>Find all <code>orders</code> with a <code>total</code> greater than or equal to <code>100</code>.</p>

Examples

Input: orders collection: +-----+----------+-------+ | _id | customer | total | +-----+----------+-------+ | 1 | Alice | 150 | | 2 | Bob | 50 | | 3 | Charlie | 100 | | 4 | Dana | 200 | +-----+----------+-------+

Output: +-----+----------+-------+ | _id | customer | total | +-----+----------+-------+ | 1 | Alice | 150 | | 3 | Charlie | 100 | | 4 | Dana | 200 | +-----+----------+-------+

Explanation: The query retrieves all documents from the collection that satisfy the specified filter criteria.

Space Complexity: -

Hints

💡 Hint 1: Use comparison operators ($gt, $gte, $lt, $lte) to filter documents based on numeric or date ranges. 💡 Hint 2: Construct the filter condition: { fieldName: { $gt: value } } inside db.<collection>.find(...). 💡 Hint 3: Chain projection or sorting if requested, and invoke .toArray() to produce the result array.

Editorial & Approach

Problem Overview & Intuition

To solve "Greater Than or Equal ($gte)", we query the MongoDB document store. The goal is to find all orders with a `total` greater than or equal to `100`. Using a targeted find query, the database engine filters and structures the BSON documents efficiently.

Step-by-Step Approach

Identify Target Collection: Access the collection through the db instance.
Construct Query / Pipeline: Build the query filter with appropriate comparison operators.
Resolve Cursor: Invoke .toArray() to transform the query cursor into the required array of documents.

Optimal Implementation (MongoDB)

function solve(db) {
  return db.orders.find({ total: { $gte: 100 } }).toArray();
}

Complexity Analysis

Time Complexity O(N) collection scan (O(log N) if index is present on filtered fields).

Space Complexity O(K) where K is the number of returned documents in memory.

Key Considerations & Edge Cases

Empty Collections: If no documents match, the query cleanly returns an empty array [].
Missing / NULL Fields: Missing fields in documents are handled safely without throwing runtime exceptions.
Type Coercion: BSON types (ObjectId, Numbers, Strings) are compared strictly according to MongoDB specifications.

Greater Than or Equal ($gte)

Easy

Find all orders with a total greater than or equal to 100.

Example Scenarios
