It says I'm not assign to the correct array.
var europeanCapitals: [String] = []
var asianCapitals: [String] = []
var otherCapitals: [String] = []
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" : europeanCapitals.append(world[key])
case "LIE" : europeanCapitals.append(world[key])
case "BGR" : europeanCapitals.append(world[key])
case "IND" : asianCapitals.append(world[key])
case "VNM" : asianCapitals.append(world[key])
default: otherCapitals.append(world[key])
}
// End code
}

Your were close and had the right idea... Note you want to append the VALUE for the key defined in your case statement. In your case you tried to append the key... and subsequently used slightly incorrect syntax on top of that.
See below revisions:
var europeanCapitals: [String] = []
var asianCapitals: [String] = []
var otherCapitals: [String] = []
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" : europeanCapitals.append(value)
case "LIE" : europeanCapitals.append(value)
case "BGR" : europeanCapitals.append(value)
case "IND" : asianCapitals.append(value)
case "VNM" : asianCapitals.append(value)
default: otherCapitals.append(value)
}
}
In a playground we can verify our results
europeanCapitals // returns ["Vaduz", "Brussels", "Sofia"]
asianCapitals // returns ["Hanoi", "New Delhi"]
otherCapitals // returns ["Mexico City", "Brasilia", "Washington D.C."]
