2,248 PointsWhat have I done wrong in this code?
I don't understand how to append the values to the right array
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
switch key {
case "BEL", "LIE", "BGR" : var europeanCapitals.append(value)
case "IND", "VNM": var asianCapitals.append(value)
default "USA", "MEX", "BRA" : var otherCapitals.append(value)
}
// End code
}

2,546 PointsThere's several problems with your code. First one, remove the var
before the arrays, because you would be initialising them again by calling the keyword var
. Then, remove the empty space before the colon in the case
lines. Also, the last line, you put default
and then possible cases ("USA", "MEX"), which is wrong. A switch will apply the default
case when none of the other checks where true, so you can just remove "USA", "MEX", "BRA"
and just leave default:
.
Hopefully this will help!
