1,567 PointsAssign the value for key "UK" to a constant named ukCurrency. Could someone provide the answer and explain it? Thanks!
1 let currencies = [ "US": "Dollar", "UK": "Pound", "JP": "Y ]

Array["key"]
So in this case:
let currencies = ["US": "Dollar", "UK": "Pound", "JP": "Yen"]
let ukCurrency = currencies["UK"]

742 PointsI find myself thinking way too hard re: questions!
I thought we needed to remove the key first and then assign it a value. So just to be clear on the conceptualization, the reason why we don't do this is simply because the key/items in the array are not variables?
