In section 11 of this tutorial, we are asked to assign movie names to the symbols/keys, and descriptions to the values. That does not work. When I asked for the solution, the code was written so that the description of the movie was in the key/symbol position and the name of the movie was in the value position. What is the deal?

The exact prompt:
1.

Create a hash called movies with symbols as keys and strings as values.

Inside your hash, add two key/value pairs.

The keys should be the names of movies.

The values should be quick descriptions or reviews.

Check out the Hint if you want an example to get you started!

The solution:

movies = {
:children => “Moana”,
:scifi => “Mortal Kombat”,
:history => “Lincoln”
}

This is wrong, right?

For me that way works
