# Table: Activity
#
# +--------------+---------+
# | Column Name | Type |
# +--------------+---------+
# | player_id | int |
# | device_id | int |
# | event_date | date |
# | games_played | int |
# +--------------+---------+
# (player_id, event_date) is the primary key (combination of columns with unique values) of this table.
# This table shows the activity of players of some games.
# Each row is a record of a player who logged in and played a number of games (possibly 0) before logging out on someday using some device.
#
#
#
# The install date of a player is the first login day of that player.
#
# We define day one retention of some date x to be the number of players whose install date is x and they logged back in on the day right after x, divided by the number of players whose install date is x, rounded to 2 decimal places.
#
# Write a solution to report for each install date, the number of players that installed the game on that day, and the day one retention.
#
# Return the result table in any order.
#
# The result format is in the following example.
#
# Example 1:
# Input:
# Activity table:
# +-----------+-----------+------------+--------------+
# | player_id | device_id | event_date | games_played |
# +-----------+-----------+------------+--------------+
# | 1 | 2 | 2016-03-01 | 5 |
# | 1 | 2 | 2016-03-02 | 6 |
# | 2 | 3 | 2017-06-25 | 1 |
# | 3 | 1 | 2016-03-01 | 0 |
# | 3 | 4 | 2016-07-03 | 5 |
# +-----------+-----------+------------+--------------+
# Output:
# +------------+----------+----------------+
# | install_dt | installs | Day1_retention |
# +------------+----------+----------------+
# | 2016-03-01 | 2 | 0.50 |
# | 2017-06-25 | 1 | 0.00 |
# +------------+----------+----------------+
# Explanation:
# Player 1 and 3 installed the game on 2016-03-01 but only player 1 logged back in on 2016-03-02 so the day 1 retention of 2016-03-01 is 1 / 2 = 0.50
# Player 2 installed the game on 2017-06-25 but didn't log back in on 2017-06-26 so the day 1 retention of 2017-06-25 is 0 / 1 = 0.00
