231,261 PointsCOUNT will only return one value, putting DISTINCT next to it will have no effect.
Putting DISTINCT inside COUNT will count the unique genres instead of the total:
SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT genre) AS total_genres FROM books;
For future issues, use the "get help" button in the challenge to automatically include your code and a link to the challenge itself.
