Jorge, you didn't give a link to the challenge, or the challenge requirements, I can't guarantee that this will pass the test, but it looks like you need something more like this:

SELECT street || ", " || city || ", " || state || " " || zip || ", " || country AS "address" FROM addresses;

Note that you can do this ", " (with the comma and the space in the same string, instead of in two concatenated strings ","|| " ". It is also "best practice" to leave spaces between operands and operators.

My code should return an address like this:

7 Pleasant St, Groton, MA 05405, USA (with no comma after the state and a comma after the zip code). You had a period after the zip code which I've also left out.

with a column heading of address -- the alias.

If the challenge wanted something different then you will have to make some adjustments.

Thanks, for your help. I left the space in the same string and issue was solved.
