The problem

Work out the fraction of players who logged in again on the day immediately after their very first login, rounded to two decimal places. The Activity table has player_id (int), device_id (int), event_date (date) and games_played (int), with (player_id, event_date) as its primary key. Return a single column named fraction.

Example

Input
Activity(player_id, device_id, event_date, games_played) = (1, 2, '2023-01-03', 5), (1, 2, '2023-01-04', 6), (2, 3, '2023-02-11', 1), (3, 1, '2023-01-05', 0), (3, 4, '2023-01-09', 4)
Output
fraction = 0.33
Explanation
Player 1 is the only one who logged in the day after their first login, and 1 / 3 rounds to 0.33.

Python solution

Python
import pandas as pd


def gameplay_analysis(activity: pd.DataFrame) -> pd.DataFrame:
    activity["first"] = activity.groupby("player_id").event_date.transform(min)
    activity_2nd_day = activity[
        activity["first"] + pd.DateOffset(1) == activity["event_date"]
    ]

    return pd.DataFrame(
        {"fraction": [round(len(activity_2nd_day) / activity.player_id.nunique(), 2)]}
    )
