Why isn't it a semicolon ? I copied from the playground and they used semicolons to separate values.

INSERT INTO books (title, author, genre, first_published) VALUES ("The Circle", "Dave Eggers", "Science Fiction", 2013) ("Contact", "Carl Sagan", "Science Fiction", 1985); ("Animal Farm", "George Orwell", NULL, 1945);

:point_right: The normal SQL convention is that values are separated by commas (,).

Did you see anywhere in the course that showed semicolons instead? If so, can you provide a link (and time index if a video)?
