39,021 PointsHi James,
You're simply setting the value of the constant applePie
to the string "AP". You need to use subscripting to index into the dictionary. The very beginning of the video Modifying A Dictionary goes over this. You need to use the name of the dictionary and then square brackets with the key inside, like this:
iceCream["AP"]
The code above will return "Apple Pie", which is what you want to store in the variable applePie
.
let applePie = iceCream["AP"]
Make sense?
Cheers
-Greg
