I am on the 2nd task and my output looks exactly like it should, but I am getting an error that it doesn't. I don't see any difference between the expected result and mine. What am I missing? Error below. Query and results in comments further down.
Bummer! Your query didn't retrieve the addresses in the correct format. Expecting 2532 2nd ST, San Diego, California 90222. USA not 2532 2nd ST, San Diego, California 90222. USA.
This is the task: Challenge Task 2 of 2 In an ecommerce database there's a addresses table. There is an id, nickname, street, city, state, zip, country and user_id columns.
Concatenate the street, city, state, zip and country in the following format. Street, City, State Zip. Country e.g. 34 NE 12 st, Portland, OR 97129. USA
Alias the concatenated string as address
