Now, create a function named Stats that takes the teacher dictionary.Return a list of lists in the format.

Question

functions, dictionaries, collections

teachers.py

# 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(my_dict):
  teachers_list = {}
  for teacher in my_dict:
    teachers_list[teacher] = len(my_dict[teacher])
  return max(teachers_list, key = teachers_list.get)

def num_teachers(teachers):
  return len(teachers.keys())

def stats(teachers):
  num_classes = []
  for name, value in teachers.items():
    new_list = [name, len(value)]
    num_classes.append(new_list)
    return num_classes

I worked the first three parts of the challenge, and passed them with the code below. If you need help on the fourth part, just let me know... Keep Coding!!!

def most_classes(teacherdict):
  newdict = {}
  for key, value in teacherdict.items():
      newdict[ len(value) ] = key
  return newdict[ max(newdict.keys()) ]

def num_teachers(teacherdict):
  return len(teacherdict)

def stats(teachers):
  num_classes = []
  for name, value in teachers.items():
    new_list = [name, len(value)]
    num_classes.append(new_list)
  return num_classes

Hello David,

you are pretty close so I won't tell you too much:

have a look the indentation of your return statement! With this indentation the loop stops after the first teach only.
