It says that I didn't remember to use ValueForKey (which I did) so what am I doing wrong?

Don't see what I could have forgotten...

variable_assignment.mm
NSDictionary *artDict = @{ 
  @"Artist": @"Dali",
  @"Title": @"The Ship",
  @"Medium": @"Oil Paint",
                       };

NSString *favoriteArtist;  
  favoriteArtist = [artDict ValueForKey:@"Artist"];

Hi Alex!

Just a small syntax error for valueForKey -- should have a lowercase V ?

By the way, the same thing also can be achieved this way:

NSString *favoriteArtist = [artDict valueForKey:@"Artist"];

Hope this helps! ✊
