Find the Largest Single Number
You are given a table MyNumbers that contains integers, possibly with duplicates. A single number is defined as a number that appears exactly once in the table. Write a SQL query to find the largest single number. If there are no single numbers, return null.
Examples
Example 1
Numbers appearing exactly once: 1, 4, 5, 6. The largest among them is 6.
Approach hint
Start with a simple approach, explain the trade-off, then move toward a cleaner or more scalable solution.
Common mistake
Skipping assumptions, edge cases, or trade-offs can make an otherwise good answer feel incomplete.
