You need to switch on the key value of the array and then append those value to the specific Capital. You only need two switch statements because the other capital can be a default.

switch key {
case "BEL","BGR","LIE":
europeanCapitals.append(value)
case "IND" :
asianCapitals.append(value)
default:
otherCapitals.append(value)
}
}

I feel like I understood everything above other than why (value) comes after the ...Capitals.append?
could you or anyone shed some light on this? Cheers
