567 PointsHi, Please can somebody help me what is wrong with my code?
Assign the value for key "UK" to a constant named ukCurrency.
let currencies = ["US": "Dollar", "UK": "Pound", "JP": "Yen"] let ukCurrency = ["UK"]
let currencies = ["US": "Dollar", "UK": "Pound", "JP": "Yen"]
let ukCurrency = ["UK"]

What you're after would be the following:
let currencies = ["US": "Dollar", "UK": "Pound", "JP": "Yen"]
let ukCurrency = currencies["UK"]
The reason for this is that in the code you've posted you're creating a new constant named "ukCurrency" and then implicitly making it a dictionary containing only the value "UK" as it doesn't reference the dictionary that you previously created which you aptly named "currencies" The above code is very similar to what you've got with the key difference being that it calls currencies first and then says "Hey I've got this key named "UK", can I have the value for it please" and the currency constant then provides "Pound" as desired.
I hope that helps :) Any problems just let me know!

let ukCurrency = currencies["UK"]
