I think this question is being marked incorrectly.

I think this question is being marked incorrectly. SELECT COUNT(platform) FROM games; Should return 4, as the keyword DISTINCT isn't used. However, it's saying this is the incorrect answer. Could you please check?

Hi Lolo,

Without the DISTINCT keyword it will count all non-null values. In this case, out of the 4 rows, 2 of them have null values in the platform column. So there are 2 non-null values.
