It's saying that I need to assign ukCurrency the value of "UK" from the currencies dictionary. This syntax works in Xcode and I don't see how it's wrong.
let currencies = [ "US":"Dollar", "UK":"Pound", "JP":"Yen" ]
let ukCurrency = "UK"

let ukCurrency = currencies[/*INSERT KEY HERE*/]
I hope this helps!

4,427 PointsHi Harrison. In your current code, you aren't assigning ukCurrency a value from the array. Rather you are just assigning it a value (that just happens to be a value in the array). The two constants: currencies and ukCurrency are unrelated to each other.
The idea behind the challenge is to "pull out" the dictionary value using it's key "UK". So when you enter "UK" you should get out "Pound". So while the syntax is fine, it is returning "UK" because, once again, the two constants aren't related.
To pull values out of dictionaries, try using the array name and the square brackets:
let ukCurrency = currencies["UK"]Hope this helps!
