Now add the values in our array to our new dictionary. The keys for the values should be: 'customer', 'size', 'style' and 'color'. The values in the original array are in the same order as the keys listed above. (Note: Don't set the values directly as strings, but rather use something like 'objectAtIndex' to reference the original array.)
I am confused here. Don't know what to do, I have already tried almost everything. Could someone help? I really appreciate, thank you!
NSArray *shoeOrder = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects: @"Charles Smith", @(9.5), @"loafer", @"brown", nil];
NSMutableDictionary *shoeOrderDict = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];

You've got the first two lines spot on! Next, you want to use setObject: forKey
to populate your dictionary. Access the array using objectAtIndex:
. Here's one line - you should be OK to work the rest out from there.
NSArray *shoeOrder = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects: @"Charles Smith", @(9.5), @"loafer", @"brown", nil];
NSMutableDictionary *shoeOrderDict = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];
[shoeOrderDict setObject:[shoeOrder objectAtIndex:0] forKey:@"customer"];
Let me know how you get on.
Steve.

NSArray *shoeOrder = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects: @"Charles Smith",[NSNumber numberWithDouble: 9.5], @"loafer" ,@"brown", nil];
NSMutableDictionary *shoeOrderDict = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] initWithObjectsAndKeys: @"[objectAtIndex:0 in shoeOrder]", @"customer", @"[objectAtIndex:1 in shoeOrder]" , @"size", @"[objectAtIndex:2 in shoeOrder]", @"style",@"[ objectAtIndex:3 in shoeOrder]",@"color", nil];
Bummer! It looks like at least one of your key/value pairs is incorrect. Check them carefully for syntax and spelling.
