Courses Plus Student 1,779 PointsHow do I set the value Key?
I know I got to set the value to @"make",but I'm seriously stumped. Thank you for the help
NSMutableDictionary *carDict = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc]initWithObjectsAndKeys: @"Honda", @"Make", @"Accord", @"Model", nil];
NSString *myRide= [[NSString alloc] init:@"Honda",nil];

Treehouse TeacherHi there! It seems like you set up your dictionary just fine and even did the alloc and init part correctly. But @"Honda" is the value, not the key. Here we want to set our string equal to the value at the key using the valueForKey
. There might be a more elegant solution, but this worked for me.
NSMutableDictionary *carDict = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc]initWithObjectsAndKeys: @"Honda", @"Make", @"Accord", @"Model", nil];
NSString *myRide = [[NSString alloc]init];
myRide = [carDict valueForKey:@"Make"];
Hope this helps!
