count_if(col > 1): There are 3 values greater than 1 (2, 2, 3), so count_a is 3. count()*: There are 6 rows in total, so count_b is 6. count(col1): There are 5 non-null values (0, 1, 2, 2, 3), so count_c is 5.

Sorry but the question is not presented properly. I think it should be written like this:- select count_if(col > 1) as count_a, count(*) as count_b,count(col) as count_c from random_values

It's a formatting issue. The table has exactly 1 column named "col1". The power of adding in a carriage return and line feed. Definitely get why it was difficult to figure out.
