Stuck on Dictionary challenge 2 of 2

The question is "Assign the value for key "UK" to a constant named ukCurrency."

I have made the constant ukCurrency to equal "UK". For some reason I get an error message stating that I have the wrong value assigned to ukCurrency. Not sure what the problem is.

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

You are very close!

You need to add [] around the key. You can think of it almost as an array.

let ukCurrency = currencies["UK"]
