Keep getting an error that says "expected type" when I try to use the item function.

protocol VendingMachine { var selection: [VendingSelection] { get } var inventory: [VendingSelection: VendingItem] { get set } var amountDepostied: Double { get set }

init(inventory: [VendingSelection: VendingItem])
func vend(selection: VendingSelection, quantity: Int) throws
func deposit(_ amount: Double)
func item(forSelection selection: VendingItem) -> VendingItem?

}

this is the protocol where I declared the function 

func item(forSelection selection: VendingItem) -> VendingItem? {
    return inventory[selection as! DictionaryIndex<_, _>]


}

}

it used to be: return inventory[selection] but then it recommends I change it to what it says currently.

on the return inventory line is where I am getting the "expected type" error
