help for challenge Tast 3 of 4 ( swift 2.0 collections and controles

var iceCream = [ "CC": "Chocolate Chip", "AP": "Apple Pie", "PB": "Peanut Butter" ] iceCream.updateValue("Rocky Road", forKey:"RR")

// below is the code for: challenge Task 3 of 4

let applePie = Apple Pie ["AP"] // it gives me this : Bummer! Make sure you're retrieving a value from the dictionary rather than assigning a string directly // so i will try another code. this time without assinging a string directly ( which in my mind, i'm thinking it means string= string , nmeaning applePie= Apple Pie) let applePie = ["AP"] // it NOW gives me this: Bummer! Make sure you're assigning the value from the dictionary to a constant named applePie // at this point my knowledge is to do the following: let applePie = // what comes after this?

dictionary.swift 
// Enter your code below
var iceCream = [
"CC": "Chocolate Chip",
"AP": "Apple Pie",
"PB": "Peanut Butter"
]

Yusuf,

You almost have it. You need to grab the value from the "iceCream" Array like this:

let applePie = iceCream["AP"]
