I am having a hard time understanding what is missing from the Code Challenge based on the request.

Hello everyone,

It seems that i might not fully understand what is asked of me from this exercise.

I have created the following lines in the exercise:

The plistPath:

let plistPath = NSBundle.mainBundle().pathForResource("CrazyInformation", "plist")

...and I have created an instance of NSDictionary and passed plistPath to it:

let crazyDictionary = NSDictionary(contenstOfFile: plistPath)

Unfortunately I still can't seem to be able to get passed the challenge.

plist.swift 
import Foundation

// Add your code below
let plistPath = NSBundle.mainBundle().pathForResource("CrazyInformation", "plist")
let crazyDictionary = NSDictionary(contenstOfFile: plistPath)

You need to use optional binding syntax like this:

if let plistPath = NSBundle.mainBundle().pathForResource("CrazyInformation", ofType: "plist") {

  let dictionary = NSDictionary(contentsOfFile: plistPath)

  }

Also, you you misspelled "contents" in contentsOfFile and did't prefix "plist" with the keyword "ofType" in the first line.
