<?php
foreach($books as $isbn => $book) {
    /* Your code here */
}
?>

This will loop the keys as $isbn, hope this helps :)

<?php
foreach($array as $key => $value) {
    /* Your code here */
}
?>

Question two asks to put parentese around the isbn or key I tried to add them but it did not work

Hi John, this is correct answer: <li><?php echo $book; ?> (<?php echo $isbn?>)</li>
