> SELECT COUNT(shipped_today) WHERE status = "shipped" AS shipped_today AND ordered_on = DATE("now") FROM orders;

:point_right: It looks like you have all the parts, but not quite in order:

  • the alias should follow the function
  • the FROM clause comes before the WHERE clause
  • you can't count the alias but you can count the records ("*")
SELECT COUNT(*) AS shipped_today FROM orders WHERE status = "shipped" AND ordered_on = DATE("now");
