872 PointsHello, I do not understand the challenge "Assign the value for key "UK" to a constant named ukCurrency." Thank you
Are we modifying the key value pair for UK ? I do not understand. Thank you
let currencies = [ "US": "Dollar", "UK": "Pound", "JP": "Yen" ]

currencies["UK"]
then if you want to store the value in a constant (or a variable) ....
let ukCurrency = currencies["UK"]
