5,557 PointsI have no idea where I am going wrong with this code.
For the challenge task - it asks us to using the key profilePicture to retrieve the image name as a string from the dictionary and assign it to a constant named profileImageName, and then to make it into an instance. But, I seem to be missing a few crucial steps.
import UIKit
class ViewController: UIViewController {
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
let friends = Treehouse().friends
let profileImageName = treehouse["profilePicture"] as String!
profilePicture = UIImage(named: profileImageName)
//Add your code below
}
}
struct Treehouse {
let friends = [
"firstName": "Susan",
"lastName": "Olson",
"profilePicture": "susan_profile.png"
]
var firstName: String?
var lastName: String?
var profilePicture: UIImage?
init(index: Int) {
let treehouse = Treehouse().friends
let friendsDictionary = treehouse[index]
}
}

Courses Plus Student 54,657 PointsYou're almost there, here's what worked for me, the only difference is that I didn't cast the profilePicture as String, only unwrapped it, and there was a missing "let" keyword in front of profilePicture
let profileImageName = treehouse["profilePicture"]!
let profilePicture = UIImage(named: profileImageName)
