iOS Build a Playlist Browser with Swift Building the Music Library and Playlist Models Creating UIImageView instances

Challenge Task 1 of 1

In our Treehouse model struct below we have a property named friends. It is a dictionary that holds information about our friends including their profile pictures. In the ViewController class, using the key profilePicture, retrieve the image name as a string from the dictionary and assign it to a constant named profileImageName. I’ve already created an instance of the Treehouse struct and stored a reference to the friends library in a constant named friends for you to use.

Once you have the image name, create an instance of UIImage using the image name and store it in a constant called profilePicture.

ImageViews.swift
import UIKit

class ViewController: UIViewController {

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        //Add your code below
        let friends = Treehouse().friends
        let friends = Treehouse().friends
        let profileImageName = friends["profilePicture"]
        let profilePicture = UIImage(named: profileImageName)

    }

}
Treehouse.swift
struct Treehouse {
    let friends = [
        "firstName": "Susan",
        "lastName": "Olson",
        "profilePicture": "susan_profile.png"
    ]
}

You're very close.

First, you've got two friends constants defined - remove one of those.

Then, you need to unwrap the result of accessing the dictionary with the key - you've nearly got that right ... it should look like:

        let profileImageName = friends["profilePicture"]!

Then your last line is correct:

        let profilePicture = UIImage(named: profileImageName)

I hope that helps!

Thanks Steve. I passed it.

let friends = Treehouse().friends let profileImageName = friends["profilePicture"]! let profilePicture = UIImage(named: profileImageName)
