Stuck on this task?

SELECT first_name || " " || last_name || " " || email AS "to_field" FROM patrons;

That's what I wrote and it's not correct.

Thanks Kris! I tried it like that, but I didn't leave a space before the first bracket. I appreciate it.

I'm still confused. I tried to put angle bracket at various places in statement and haven't been able to find correct solution?
