Let's look at the question again:
GET /books ______ type ______ kindle ______ sort=popular HTTP/1.1

Each blank needs just a single symbol, as explained in the Sending Data with a GET Request video:

  • the first is the symbol that separates the URI from the query string
  • the second is the symbol that separates the components of a name/value pair
  • finally the symbol that separates multiple name/value pairs

If you need a refresher on the actual symbols, check out the video again starting at time index 1:30.

i can't find what is the solution

In the video, at 1:33 the instructor says "A query string is simply a sequence of name value pairs where the names and values are separated by an equal sign ... and the pairs are separated by ampersands.".

Then at 1:51 he says "When using a query string and a URI, you start with a single question mark."

thanks finally i did it
