Please provide your solution to this challenge. I believe I have followed the instructor's example.

The challenge asks the student to change the assigned value for UK currency to a new value (constant). Since this dictionary is defined as constant, I would like to see your solution.

dictionaries.swift 
let currencies = [ "US": "Dollar", "UK": "Pound", "JP": "Yen"]
currencies["UK"] = "ukCurrency"

If I remember properly, the challenge isn't asking you to assign a new value for the UK's currency, but rather to get the value of the UK's currency and assign it to a new constant, like this:

let currencies = [ "US": "Dollar", "UK": "Pound", "JP": "Yen"]
let ukCurrency = currencies["UK"]

Hi Michael. Thank you for that tip - you are correct, I misinterpreted the question.
