I am getting an error, Bummer! Couldn't find 'most_courses' and I cannot seem to figure out why.
# The dictionary will look something like:
# {'Andrew Chalkley': ['jQuery Basics', 'Node.js Basics'],
# 'Kenneth Love': ['Python Basics', 'Python Collections']}
#
# Each key will be a Teacher and the value will be a list of courses.
#
# Your code goes below here.
def num_teachers(dict):
count= 0
for key in dict:
count +=1
return count
def num_courses(dict):
course_count = []
for teachers in dict:
for courses in dict[teachers]:
course_count.append(courses)
return len(course_count)
def courses(dict):
course_count = []
for teachers in dict:
for courses in dict[teachers]:
course_count.append(courses)
return course_count
def most_courses(dict):
most_teacher = ''
max_count = 0
for teacher, courses in teacher.items():
if len(courses) > max_count:
most_teacher = teacher
max_count = len(courses)
return most_teacher

dictionary, although it doesn't exist.
Try iterating over the dict
dictionary (the argument passed in).
I hope this helps. ~Alex
