not sure where i am going wrong with my code...

i think the problem arises with my default statement, but cannot pinpoint the issue

switch.swift 
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": print (europeanCapitals)
   case "IND", "VNM": print (asianCapitals)
   default "BRA", "MEX", "USA": print (otherCapitals)
   }
    // End code
}

Actually, your problem is that you're trying to print something. And you should be appending the value at the key to the array. Here's a link to my code where I've answered this question previously. https://teamtreehouse.com/community/can-someone-help-me-with-this-switch-statement
