What does this error mean?

expected ']' nil];

^

note: expanded from macro 'nil' #define nil NULL

                       ^

note: expanded from macro 'NULL'

define NULL __null

                         ^

Here is my code.

NSDictionary *album = [[NSDictionary alloc] initWithObjectsAndKeys:@"Abbey Road", @"title", @"The Beatles", @"artist" nil];

NSLog(@"album %@", album);

Okay, I got rid of the error when I put a space in front of the nil, but i'm getting a message that says: Bummer! Your 'album' dictionary doesn't have any values in it. What do I do?
