Table: Orders +-----------------+----------+ | Column Name | Type | +-----------------+----------+ | order_number | int | | customer_number | int | +-----------------+----------+ order_number is the primary key (column with unique values) for this table. This table contains information about the order ID and the customer ID. Write a solution to find the customer_number for the customer who has placed the largest number of orders . The test cases are generated so that exactly one customer will have placed more orders than any other customer. The result format is in the following example. Example 1: Input: Orders table: +--------------+-----------------+ | order_number | customer_number | +--------------+-----------------+ | 1 | 1 | | 2 | 2 | | 3 | 3 | | 4 | 3 | +--------------+-----------------+ Output: +-----------------+ | customer_number | +-----------------+ | 3 | +-----------------+ Explanation: The customer with number 3 has two orders, which is greater than either customer 1 or 2 because each of them only has one order. So the result is customer_number 3. Follow up: What if more than one customer has the largest number of orders, can you find all the customer_number in this case?
