I'm having a bit of trouble with this one and would appreciate it if someone could help me out.

I have entered:

SELECT CONCAT(first_name, " ", (username)) AS display_name FROM users;

Reaction: Bummer! There's something wrong with your query.

display_name

your output looks like:

Andrew chalkers

however it needs to be:

Andrew (chalkers)

you need to concatenate the parenthesis as well:

SELECT CONCAT(first_name, " ", "(", username, ")") AS display_name FROM users;
