Element pl-order-blocks: inline horizontal arrangement

This question illustrates the inline="true" attribute of pl-order-blocks, which creates a horizontal arrangement of blocks.

Create a SQL command that selects all students who are enrolled in computer science.

This example uses inline="true" to arrange blocks horizontally rather than vertically.

Note: This model of block arrangement, particularly for the context of computer science, is attributed to "Regex Parsons: Using Horizontal Parsons Problems to Scaffold Learning Regex"
