Hello coders, today we are going to solve 15 Days of Learning SQL HackerRank Solution in SQL.
Problem
Julia conducted a 15 days of learning SQL contest. The start date of the contest was March 01, 2016 and the end date was March 15, 2016.
Write a query to print total number of unique hackers who made at least 1 submission each day (starting on the first day of the contest), and find the hacker_id and name of the hacker who made maximum number of submissions each day. If more than one such hacker has a maximum number of submissions, print the lowest hacker_id. The query should print this information for each day of the contest, sorted by the date.
Input Format
The following tables hold contest data:
- Hackers: The hacker_id is the id of the hacker, and name is the name of the hacker.
- Submissions: The submission_date is the date of the submission, submission_id is the id of the submission, hacker_id is the id of the hacker who made the submission, and score is the score of the submission.
Sample Input
For the following sample input, assume that the end date of the contest was March 06, 2016.
Hackers Table: 
Submissions Table:

what is the function of @ in this query…i don’t understand it
Here is my solution in SQL Server using recursion:
;with cte1 as (
Select s.hacker_id
, submission_date
from submissions s
), Recursion1 as (
Select Hacker_id, submission_date
from cte1
where submission_date = ‘20160301’
union all
Select s.Hacker_id, s.Submission_date
from cte1 c
inner join submissions s on s.submission_date = dateadd(day,1,c.submission_date) and s.hacker_id = c.hacker_id
where s.submission_date between ‘20160301’ and ‘20160315’
), Recursion2 as (
Select Submission_date, Hacker_ID
from Recursion1
where Submission_date = ‘20160301’
union all
Select r1.Submission_date, r1.Hacker_ID
from Recursion2 r
inner join Recursion1 r1 on r1.submission_date = dateadd(day,1,r.submission_date) and r.hacker_id = r1.hacker_id
), MinHackerAndName as (
Select dc.Submission_date, dc.[Hacker_SubmissionCount], dc.Hacker_id
,row_number() over (partition by dc.submission_date order by dc.Submission_date asc, dc.Hacker_SubmissionCount desc, dc.Hacker_id asc) [RN]
from (
Select s.Submission_date, s.hacker_id, count(s.Hacker_id)[Hacker_SubmissionCount]
from Submissions s
group by s.submission_date, s.hacker_id) dc
)
Select r.Submission_date, Count(distinct r.Hacker_id) [HCount]
, h.Hacker_id, h.Name
from Recursion2 r
inner join MinHackerAndName mhn on mhn.submission_date = r.submission_date and mhn.rn = 1
inner join Hackers h on h.Hacker_id = mhn.hacker_id
group by r.Submission_date , h.Hacker_id, h.Name
Order by r.Submission_date asc
