println a dictionary

I created the following array of dictionaries

["title": "Magic", "artist": "Coldplay", "album": "Ghost Stories" ], ["title": "Summertime", "artist": "VybzCartel", "album": "Vybz Cartel Album" ], ]

I am able to call a dictionary value using the following:

My question is, how can a create a println of the previous line?

println("The artist is (songs[1]["artist"])") does not seem to work.

Your array is different, but I am pretty sure the same principle will apply. I am not sure if this will answer your question or not and the challenge you have linked too doesn't have anything about songs, but still.

Array["key"]

So in the case:

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

let ukCurrency = currencies["UK"]
