What am I missing here?

What is wrong with the code I have entered?

switch.swift 
var europeanCapitals: [String] = ["BEL", "LIE", "BGR"]
var asianCapitals: [String] = ["IND", "VNM"]
var otherCapitals: [String] = ["USA", "MEX", "BRA"]

let world = [
  "BEL": "Brussels", 
  "LIE": "Vaduz", 
  "BGR": "Sofia", 
  "USA": "Washington D.C.", 
  "MEX": "Mexico City", 
  "BRA": "Brasilia", 
  "IND": "New Delhi", 
  "VNM": "Hanoi"]

for (key, value) in world {
    // Enter your code below
    switch key {
    case "BEL", "LIE", "BGR": europeanCapitals.append(value)
    case "IND", "VNM": asianCapitals.append(value)
    default: otherCapitals.append(value)
    // End code
}

Hey there,

good job, you almost got it right! The only problem is that you're missing the closing curly brace of your switch statement. If you add it, your code should look like this and work:

    switch key {
    case "BEL", "LIE", "BGR": europeanCapitals.append(value)
    case "IND", "VNM": asianCapitals.append(value)
    default: otherCapitals.append(value)
    }

I hope that helps! :)
