the question was simple. i just didn't know until further review that the name was strings, since naming threw me off.

The HalfPriceSale function should receive a map with product name strings as its keys, and corresponding prices as its values, like this: {"OCKOPROG": 89.99, "ALBOÖMME": 129.99, "TRAALLÅ", 49.99}

Placing it in quotes would imply that the word "strings" was actually one of the product names, which is not true.
