Why is this not working

I can't figure out how to pass this code challenge. The tips that they suggest are very vague.

plist.swift 
import Foundation

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

}

Hello Matthew :

Try this

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

}

That worked thanks! I was trying to use if..let on the "let dictionary = NSDictionary(contentsOfFile: plistPath) " line of code too which it didn't like

Yeah, but you were doing optional chaining, which was the mistake ! It happened to me too, but then I figured it out.

Good luck
