Hi there, Yusuf Gillani ! I would prefer to have seen some of your previous attempts so that I could better guide you on what might be going wrong. I can, however, leave a series of steps you might take to solve Step 1.

  • Create an empty list
  • Loop over the COURSES
  • If the set that was sent in is in the list of values at that key append it to the empty list (you might need & here)
  • Return the list you built up

Hope this helps! :sparkles:

Thanks that was helpful.
