For Task 1, i did below and task passed

     def num_teachers(teachers_dictionary):
         return len(teachers_dictionary)

For Task 2, i submitted below and i got an error saying task 1 is no longer passing. I went to the Task 1 again and it was still passing. How to come out of this error ?

def num_teachers(teachers_dictionary):
    course_count = 0
    for item in teachers_dictionary.values():
        course_count = course_count + len(item)
    print(course_count)
    return course_count

Got it working! Task 2 submission seems should have Task 1 function as well. Once added Task 1 code as well to Task 2, it passed.

Good day, the instructions say: Create a new function named num_courses

So leave your function num_teachers as it is, and do part two in a new function called num_courses.

Have a Good day to you too.

Ohh, i missed this. But, even after changing the function name for task 2 to num_courses, i am getting same error that task 1 no longer passing.

Earlier also i have written function name wrongly but usually the error was some like function xyz not found.
