You forgot to show your code (and link to the challenge).
But based on questions other students have asked, I can give you some general hints:
- Remember to enclose literal strings in quotes
- Remember to include a space in front of the open angle (
" <") - Remember to place the concatenation operator (
||) between the strings being joined (literals or field names) - If an alias is required, be sure to place it after all the combined strings
If one or more of these hints doesn't solve your issue, please show your code and provide a link to the challenge.
