Create an NSDictionary Object Code Challenge

The assignment is: Create an NSDictionary object called book1 with the following keys and values: 'Title' - 'Art of War', 'Author' - 'Sun Tzu'

And my code is: NSDictionary *book1 = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:@"Art of War", @"title", @"Sun Tzu", @"author", nil];

The response I get when I submit the code is: Remember, when declaring an NSDictionary the value comes first and then the key.

Isn't that what I'm doing?

Make sure the keys are @"Title" and @"Author", not @"title" and @"author".

And yes, you do have the correct ordering the code challenge's hint is a bit confusing unfortunately.

I made the same mistake with the caps. Thanks for the quick fix.
