The iceCream variable is already declared in the first line of code.

So you don't want to write "var" a second time in line 4.

Here is the corrected code:

// Enter your code below
var iceCream = ["CC": "Chocolate Chip", "AP": "Apple Pie", "PB": "Peanut Butter"]
iceCream["RR"] = "Rocky Road"
let applePie = iceCream["AP"]
iceCream["CC"] = "Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough"
