1,150 PointsPlease can you provide some clarity of the dictionary of teachers?
I have tried passing the dictionary of teachers and iterating through the items to append to a list. However this breaks task 1. I am returning the list of courses. Not sure where I am going wrong.
# 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(dicts):
my_dict = {}
for i, j in dicts.items():
#print i
my_dict[i] = i
# print my_dict[i]
count = 0
# add i as the value in our own dictionary
for k in j:
# print k
count += 1
# print count
my_dict[i] = count
return max(my_dict, key=my_dict.get)
def num_teachers(teachers):
max_count = 0
max_count = len (teachers)
return max_count
def stats(dicts):
list_of_lists = []
stat_list = []
for i, j in dicts.items():
count = 0
for k in j:
count += 1
stat_list = [i,count]
list_of_lists.append (stat_list)
return list_of_lists
def courses(teachers):
course_list = []
for i, j in teachers.items():
for k in j:
print k
course_list.append(k)
return course_list

For your reference, this is the code that I ran.
