I need help regarding this code. can't find anything wrong but it won't work
# 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(dic):
return len(dic)
def num_courses(dic):
course=[]
for value in dic.values():
course+=value
return len(course)
def courses(dic):
course=[]
for value in dic.values():
course+=value
return course
def most_courses(dic):
valuedic={}
for value in dic.values():
valuedic[value]=len(value)
mostcourse=[]
for key in valuedic.keys():
if valuedic[key]==max(valuedic.values()):
mostcourse+=key
else:
continue
desired=''
for key in dic.keys():
if dic[key]==mostcourse:
desired=key
return desired

will give you a list of lists, so value
in the loop will be a list. This isn't necessarily 100% true, but in general, the keys in a dictionary should always be a string, but in your loop, you're trying to use value
(which is a list) as a key, which isn't something you can do
