Simple SQL query for Min and Max

Question

So I am trying to find the age of the oldest and youngest male and female patients along with the average age of male and female patients in the clinic I work. I am new to SQL but essentially it all comes from one table I believe which is named "Patients". Inside the Patients table there is a column for Gender which has Either M for male or F for female. There is also an age column. I am guessing this is really simple and I am just making this to complicated but could someone try to help me out?

My Query is pretty limited. I know that if you do something along the lines of:

Select 
    Min(AGE) AS AGEMIN, 
    MAX(AGE) AS AGEMAX
From Patients

Answer 1

Use the GROUP BY clause:

    select * from @MyTable

• M 10
• M 15
• M 20
• F 30
• F 35

• F 40

  select Gender, MIN(Age), MAX(Age), AVG(Age)
  from @MyTable
  group by Gender
  

• F 30 40 35

• M 10 20 15
