My code is working out .....but the recheck work is given me a "Bummer"

Iḿ stuck with this problem even my results looks OK

sets.py 
COURSES = {
    "Python Basics": {"Python", "functions", "variables",
                      "booleans", "integers", "floats",
                      "arrays", "strings", "exceptions",
                      "conditions", "input", "loops"},
    "Java Basics": {"Java", "strings", "variables",
                    "input", "exceptions", "integers",
                    "booleans", "loops"},
    "PHP Basics": {"PHP", "variables", "conditions",
                   "integers", "floats", "strings",
                   "booleans", "HTML"},
    "Ruby Basics": {"Ruby", "strings", "floats",
                    "integers", "conditions",
                    "functions", "input"}
}
def covers(param):
    list = []
    for key,value in COURSES.items():
        if value > param:
            list.append(key)
    return list

Hi Igor,

This is a sneaky challenge. The challenge asks for results where the supplied set and the COURSES' value overlap. What they mean by this is they want your output list to include a course if any of the topics in the input are in the course. For example, given an input of:

{"arrays", "booleans"}

You should get ['Python Basics', 'Java Basics', 'PHP Basics'] because each of those courses have some overlap with the input set.

Hope that clears everything up for you.

Cheers

Alex
