Challenge task 3 of 3 Let's add the year of the album to the 'albumMutable' variable. Where the key is a NSString 'year' and the value is also a NSString '1969'.

Seems like this should be the answer

NSDictionary *album = @{ @"title":@"Abbey Road", @"artist":@"The Beatles" }; NSLog(@"album %@", album);

NSMutableDictionary *albumMutable = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithDictionary:album]; [albumMutable setObject:@1969 forKey:@"year"]; NSLog(@"%@", albumMutable);

I had the same issue. Stone is right, 1969 needs to be a string, and you have it declared as an integer.

So the line of code should be:

[albumMutable setObject:@"1969" .... instead of [albumMutable setObject:@1969

Is it possible it wants the year as a string not an integer?

Hello,

I was stuck with the same problem I had the code as: setObject:@1969

Then I tried it as: setObject:@"1969"

And Booya! It worked.

But can't you fix this? The right answer should be @1969 and not @"1969"....

well the challenge says "Where the key is a NSString 'year' and the value is also a NSString '1969'." It tells you it needs to be a string. So the right answer is @"1969"
