What is going on with with this code challenge? Asking for prices between and including 10.99 and 12.99.

Should be

SELECT * FROM products WHERE price >= 10.99 and price <= 12.99;

but its do working. I even tried between, which shouldn't be right because its between AND INCLUDING but figured why not.

Nevermind, I tried between again and it worked. But you wouldn't use between if you want something between AND INCLUDING something.

In SQL, the word BETWEEN is inclusive.

So it actually does mean "between and including". That might seem odd at first, but remember, SQL was developed for accountants, not mathematicians.
