Numeric and Aggregate Functions Code challenge 1 or 3

Here is the question:

Count all rows in the "users" table and alias it as "user_count".

Here is my code:

SELECT COUNT(*) FROM users AS user_count

Here is what I get when i run it:

COUNT(*)

What am i doing wrong here? I have no idea.

I figured it out. I had to change the order of the statements. The AS statement has to come before the FROM statement, like this:

SELECT COUNT(*) AS user_count FROM users

That is the correct answer.
