:point_right: Concatenation can be done with a combination of fields and literal strings.

For example, If you wanted to return last names followed by first names in brackets, and call the whole thing "User", you could write:

SELECT LastName || " [" || FirstName || "]" AS User FROM table

You can probably do something similar to resolve your challenge.
