What did I do wrong in this switch challenge?
var europeanCapitals: [String] = []
var asianCapitals: [String] = []
var otherCapitals: [String] = []
let world = [
"BEL": "Brussels",
"LIE": "Vaduz",
"BGR": "Sofia",
"USA": "Washington D.C.",
"MEX": "Mexico City",
"BRA": "Brasilia",
"IND": "New Delhi",
"VNM": "Hanoi"]
for (key, value) in world {
// Enter your code below
let europeanCapitals = ["Brussels", "Vaduz", "Sofia"]
let asianCapitals = ["New Delhi", "Hanoi"]
let otherCapitals = ["Washington D.C.", "Mexico City", "Brasilia"]
switch world {
case "europeanCapitals": print(europeanCapitals.append())
case "asianCapitals": print(asianCapitals.append())
defualt: print(otherCapitals.append())
