What to do in this challenge?

The challenge says: 'Given a resource named "CrazyInformation.plist" located in the main application directory, first retrieve the path to this resource and assign the string to a constant named plistPath. Once you have the plistPath, create an instance of NSDictionary containing the contents of the plist.'

I'm unable to figure it out!

Please HELP!

Thanks in advance.

I've added my code below. What's wrong with it?

plist.swift 
import Foundation

// Add your code below
let plistPath = NSBundle.mainBundle().pathForResource("CrazyInformation", ofType: "plist")
let crazyInformationDictionary = NSDictionary(contentsOfFile: plistPath)

This I what I got and it seemed to work:

'''

import Foundation

if let plistPath = NSBundle.mainBundle().pathForResource("CrazyInformation", ofType: "plist") { let crazy = NSDictionary(contentsOfFile: plistPath) } '''

Hope this helps!! :)
