[SOLVED] Sudoers file: Syntax error

Hi, I'm back.

I recently got into Linux again and did a fresh install. As far as I can tell, everything went good, but I'm confused about my sudoers file after following my time and true guide. It's spitting an error out at me and I'm not exactly sure what the problem is. I was downloading yay using git when I noticed it:

/etc/sudoers:62:2: syntax error
3# Defaults env_keep += "XDG_SESSION_COOKIE"
 ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I probably made a simple mistake editing the sudoers file during installation. It works, but this is kind of agitating to see everytime I something. Would anyone be willing to weigh in anyways and explain what's going on?

The line starts with a '3'?
