Make sure you're assigning the value 7.5 to rating

Not really sure what I am doing wrong here.

types.swift 
// Enter your code below
let title = "A Dance with Dragons"
var rating = "7.5"

Hey Isaiah,

You're pretty much on the right track; however, you are assigning it as a string (surrounded by quotes), instead of a float (no quotes). The challenge wants it to be a float, not a string. So, if you just remove the quotes, you're good to go! :)

let title = "A Dance with Dragons"
var rating = 7.5

:dizzy:
