It says I have my parameters the other way around but I am correct, cannot figure out what is wrong.

In a movies database we have a movies table. It has the columns of id, title, date_released and genre. Write a query that returns the title first and the month and year it was released alias as month_year_released. Dates should look like "04/1983" for April 1983.

select title, STRFTIME("%m/%y", date_released) AS month_year_released from movies;

You pretty much have it - just need to capitalize the y. STRFTIME doesn't recognize a lowercase y it seems, at least according to this.

Thank you very much, the tutorial did not explain that capitalization changes the format. I needed to have a lower case m but an uppercase y for %m/%Y. Thank you again I was stuck.
