551 PointsYour implementation is correct. Contrary to Candace's answer, type inference is used to determine what to make, and it certainly won't assume it is an array. If this is for a code challenge and things aren't working, you may have missed something else that is a requirement of the challenge. I have found a few problems with the way code challenges work here, and what they accept. If all else fails, try it in a playground in xcode, make sure you are happy with your learning outcome, and move on; it's not worth getting hung up on a TreeHouse bug :).

2,032 PointsYour problem is in your first line. To declare a dictionary, you need to have a first line like this: var iceCream: [String: String] = [ Without the "[String: String]" you aren't declaring a dictionary, just a messed up array! Hope this helps!
