Not sure what Im doing wrong on this one

I keep getting a message saying to make sure I am capturing all asian capitals. Im not sure what I'm doing wrong?

switch.swift 
var europeanCapitals: [String] = []
var asianCapitals: [String] = []
var otherCapitals: [String] = []

let world = [
    "BEL": "Brussels",
    "LIE": "Vaduz",
    "BGR": "Sofia",
    "USA": "Washing D.C",
    "MEX": "Mexico City",
    "BRA": "Brasilia",
    "IND": "New Dehli",
    "VNM": "Hanoi"]

for (key, value) in world {
    switch key {
        case "BEL", "Brussels", "LIE", "Vaduz", "BGR", "Sofia": europeanCapitals.append(value)
        case "IND", "New Dehli", "VNM", "Hanoi": asianCapitals.append(value)
        case "MEX", "Mexico City", "USA", "United States", "BRA", "Brasilia": otherCapitals.append(value)
        default: print("I dont know that one!")

    }
}

Hey Joe Nelson,

Your corrected code is valid. Try placing it between the comment markers to get the solution to pass. As a general rule, don't edit the code provided by the challenge, including the comments.

var europeanCapitals: [String] = []
var asianCapitals: [String] = []
var otherCapitals: [String] = []

let world = [
  "BEL": "Brussels", 
  "LIE": "Vaduz", 
  "BGR": "Sofia", 
  "USA": "Washington D.C.", 
  "MEX": "Mexico City", 
  "BRA": "Brasilia", 
  "IND": "New Delhi", 
  "VNM": "Hanoi"]

for (key, value) in world {
    // Enter your code below
        switch key {
            case "BEL", "LIE", "BGR": 
            europeanCapitals.append(value)
            case "IND", "VNM": 
            asianCapitals.append(value)
            default: 
            otherCapitals.append(value)
    }
    // End code
}

Good Luck

I think there may be a bug because I am still getting the same response. Here is the new code, which is identical to yours.

var europeanCapitals: [String] = []
var asianCapitals: [String] = []
var otherCapitals: [String] = []

let world = [
    "BEL": "Brussels", // europe
    "LIE": "Vaduz", // europe
    "BGR": "Sofia", // europe
    "USA": "Washing D.C", // other
    "MEX": "Mexico City", // other
    "BRA": "Brasilia", // other
    "IND": "New Dehli", // asia
    "VNM": "Hanoi" // asia
]

for (key, value) in world {
    switch key {
        case "BEL", "LIE", "BGR": 
        europeanCapitals.append(value)
        case "IND", "VNM": 
        asianCapitals.append(value)
        default: 
        otherCapitals.append(value)

    }
}
