let post = try! decoder.decode([String: Post].self, from: json) works in swift playground but fails in treehouse test.

the below json and struct can be accessed fine and without needing to write custom init (as per the question) with:

let post = try! decoder.decode([String: Post].self, from: json) print(post)

but the treehouse test/quiz thing will not accept as correct answer. Maybe I miss something or the question needs to be clearer??

let json = """ { "result": { "title": "My First Blog Post", "author": "Pasan Premaratne", "date": "April 16, 2018" } } """.data(using: .utf8)!

struct Post: Codable { let title: String let author: String let date: String }

let decoder = JSONDecoder()

[String: [Status]].self

Your answer is 100% correct but the quiz is missing the comma. Just remove the comma and youll go through, they meant to put the comma there for you but they forgot.

i hope you get it
