what is wrong with the the way i fill nsdictionary album ?

When i do the challenge task 1 to fill the NSDictionary album it is saying it is wrong because there is no content in it. However i do not see why this is the case. i even check the content with NSLOG. I use the following statement ;

NSDictionary *album = @{@"title": @"Abbey Road", @"artist":@"Beatles"};

I also tried the following statement with the same result :

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

Get ready to bang your head against your desk... You forgot "The" in The Beatles.

Hi Ricardo, Many thanks for that. i certainly banged my head over this one. I guess the "error" message is a little bit cryptical generated by the software. Glad there are still humans instead of software to help somebody out. I thought it was an error in the checking software. Many thanks and Kind regards, Peter
