Concatenation Operator

I had a code challenge that directed me to create a list of strings in the following format: Example...Andrew Chalkley Andrew@teamtreehouse.com. The line of code below is what I typed out to get that format. After doing the code, it displayed as instructed but the code challenge is not registering it as a valid answer. Please assist. Thank you.

SELECT first_name || " " || last_name || " <" || email || ">." AS "To" FROM patrons;

I seem to recall that the alias was supposed to be something like "to_field". The quoted word "To" appeared in a sentence about marketing that could be disregarded entirely.

Also, I'm not sure if there should be a period at the end of the concatenated string.

To facilitate an accurate analysis and more specific answers, always include a link to the course page.
