A bit stuck on what I need to work on.

// Enter your code below

var iceCream = ["CC": "Chocolate Chip", "AP": "Apple Pie", "PB": "Peanut Butter"]
iceCream.updateValue = ["Rocky Road", forKey: "RR"]

Hello Kit,

You have the right idea but your syntax is slightly off where you are trying to append to the dictionary. Here is how I wrote it.

var iceCream = ["CC": "Chocolate Chip", "AP": "Apple Pie", "PB": "Peanut Butter"]

iceCream.updateValue("Rocky Road", forKey: "RR")
