243 PointsWhat exactly is wrong with my code?
I'm not exactly sure what I'm doing wrong. I defined the dictionary "currencies" correctly, but I keep getting a compiling error whenever I try to define the constant "ukCurrency" with the value of the key "UK". I've rechecked that section of the video, but I'm still not sure. If you could help, that'd be great.
Just to clarify, I do NOT want someone to just give me the code. I really just want a nudge in the right direction as well as what I'm doing wrong. I want to learn this material myself, and not just have it handed to me.
let currencies = ["US": "Dollar", "UK": "Pound", "JP": "Yen"]
let ukCurrency = currencies.removeValueForKey ("UK")

Check your method - are you being expected to remove the key/value pair from the dictionary? Or just assign a value to a variable based on a particular key?

Courses Plus Student 284 PointsIt's saying to create a constant named ukCurrency under the key "UK". Your provided code removes it the "UK" value in Currencies.

57,712 PointsThis code challenge has two tasks. The first is to create the dictionary called currencies. The the second task says:
"Assign the value for key "UK" to a constant named ukCurrency."
I am sure that there are other code challenges that require a key/value pair to be removed but that isn't this one.
