Get key from Map

Hi there!

I'm having a lot of issues with these quizzes.

Again, what am I missing here?

Grade ravisGrade = studentGradeMap.get("ravi");

Hi there, Rossana Frazao de Menezes! You're very close, but ravi isn't a string. It's a variable name. Now granted, the student's name might be "Ravi" or "ravi", but the key is still a variable name. You would need studentGradeMap.get(ravi); without the quotation marks.

Hope this helps! :sparkles:
