Below is my code
class InventroyUnarchiver{
class func vendingInventoryFromDictionary(dictionary: [String:AnyObject]) throws -> [VendingSelection : ItemType]{
var inventory: [VendingSelection : ItemType] = [:]
for (key, value) in dictionary{
if let itemDict = value as? [String : Double], let price = itemDict["price"], let quantity = ["quantity"]{
let item = VendingItem(price: price, quantity: quantity)
guard let key = VendingSelection(rawValue: key) else{
throw InventoryError.InvalidKey
}
inventory.updateValue(item, forKey: key)
}
}
return inventory
}
}
The compiler keeps giving me this error and I have tried everything to solve it. Can anyone help/explain?

this provided code is really hard to read without formatting it.
Can you take a closer look at the following line
let quantity = ["quantity"]
Did you miss the dictionary here?
itemDict["quantity"]
