The system just told me try again but I don't know what is wrong
# 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(teacher):
number = len(teacher)
return number
def num_courses(teacher):
courses = 0
for course in teacher.values():
courses += len(course)
return courses
def courses(teachers):
course = []
for teacher in teachers.values():
course.extend(teacher)
return course
def most_courses(teacher):
max_courses = len(teacher.values()):
if courses > max_courses:
name = teacher.update(teacher)
return name

If you do, you will see an error on the line:
max_courses = len(teacher.values()):
What is the colon doing on the end of that line? And why are following lines indented?
There are probably further problems. Think carefully about what max_courses is being set to. And does course get set at all before you reference it?
