Here is how I implemented it;

Thank you so much, in the end, I figured it out just now I tested it out and I came out with this

SELECT title, LENGHT(title) AS longest_length FROM books ORDER BY longest_length DESC LIMIT 1;

This actually really worked and came out right. I also tried it in the workspace and it came out all good

THANK YOU!!!
