iceCream["CC"] = "Chocolate Chip Cookie Donut" -> why this syntax is not updating the dictionary value for key CC

I am trying to update the value of CC. I tried all the possible way, none of them works. how do I update the dictionary values

dictionary.swift 
// Enter your code below
var iceCream = ["CC":"Chocolate Chip", "AP":"Apple Pie","PB":"Peanut Butter"]
iceCream.updateValue("Rocky Road", forKey:"RR")

let applePie = iceCream["AP"]

iceCream[CC] = "Chocolate Chip Cookie"

In the last line of code you forgot the speech marks in the square brackets , i think it should look like this ["CC"]. Hope this helps! :)
