I'm really confused on this coding challenge.

I don't have any additional code and was wondering if anyone could guide me through the process of how to complete this.

Thanks

@Matthew Giuliano

in the challenge basically they have given you a dictionary called friends and this dictionary has a key named as profilePicture.

In the first part of the code they are asking you to retrieve the image name as a string and store it into a constant named profileImageName. Therefore:

//retrieving and storing the value
     let profileImageName = friends["profilePicture"] as String!

now we have the stored value and it needs to be saved in a constant called profilePicture as the second part of the question.

let profilePicture = UIImage(named:profileImageName)

overall your code should look like below

  //Add your code below
        let profileImageName = friends["profilePicture"] as String!
        let profilePicture = UIImage(named:profileImageName)
