Bummer! Don't forget to instantiate the dictionary with the contents of the plist!.

What am I doing wrong here? I am actually confused about this code! I just followed the lesson, even though I didn't get what is exactly the NSBundle and NSDictionary!

Thank you Wameedh

plist.swift 
import Foundation

// Add your code below
if let plistPath = NSBundle.mainBundle().pathForResource("CrazyInformation", ofType: "plist"),
    let crazyInfoDictionary = NSDictionary(contentsOfFile: plistPath),
    let  currentcrazyInfoDictionary = crazyInfoDictionary["Currentlly"] as? [String: AnyObject]{


}

Write two if let statements and it will work.

import Foundation

if  let plistPath = NSBundle.mainBundle().pathForResource("crazyInformation", ofType: "plist") {
    if let crazyInformationDictionary = NSDictionary(contentsOfFile: plistPath) {

    }
}
