1,810 PointsI am having a hard time understanding the given task to do. Could someone elaborate it a bit more. Thank YOU!
How do I have the wrong key word? If I am assigning it as it is in the friends struct.
import UIKit
class ViewController: UIViewController {
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
let friends = Treehouse().friends
let profileImageName: String?
let profilePicture: UIImage?
profileImageName = friends[profilePicture]Â as String!
profilePicture = UIImage(named: profileImageName!)
//Add your code below
}
}
struct Treehouse {
let friends = [
"firstName": "Susan",
"lastName": "Olson",
"profilePicture": "susan_profile.png"
]
}

3,461 PointsWith these challenges and coding in general, it's really easy to fall into a trap of thinking you need to write more code than you have to. I fall into that trap sometimes too! Look at my code below and how it only required two relatively straightforward lines of code, then reread the challenge. You'll see the successful code fulfills the exercise without wasting a single dot or bracket! ;-) Hope this helps clear things up!
import UIKit
class ViewController: UIViewController {
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
let friends = Treehouse().friends
//Add your code below
let profileImageName = friends["profilePicture"]!
let profilePicture = UIIMage().profileImageName
}
}
