8,050 PointsHi. fellow treehouse mates. i get bummer in the last task about courses. that says You returned 5 should be 18. why
i het all the values printed what is wrong with my answer?
# The dictionary will be something like:
# {'Jason Seifer': ['Ruby Foundations', 'Ruby on Rails Forms', 'Technology Foundations'],
# 'Kenneth Love': ['Python Basics', 'Python Collections']}
#
# Often, it's a good idea to hold onto a max_count variable.
# Update it when you find a teacher with more classes than
# the current count. Better hold onto the teacher name somewhere
# too!
#
# Your code goes below here.
def most_classes(teachers):
max_count = 0
max_teacher = ''
for key in teachers:
class_count = len(teachers[key])
if class_count > max_count:
max_teacher = key #You have to reassign max_count to have the current
max_count = class_count #class count here
return max_teacher
def num_teachers(teachers):
count = 0
for keys in teachers:
count += 1
return count
def stats(teachers):
teacher_list = []
for keys in teachers:
teacher = [keys, len(teachers[keys])]
teacher_list.append(teacher)
return teacher_list
def courses(teachers):
course_list = []
for values in teachers.values():
course_list.append(values)
return course_list

teachers.values()
returns a list. When appending a list to another list, you get a list of lists [[], [], []]
. This challenge is expecting just one list. Instead of appending, there is an operator you can use to Combine Lists for the desired result.
