1,330 Pointsreturning name of the teacher with the most number of courses
am trying task on python collections which need to iterate through the dictionary and return the name of the teacher with the highest number of courses
# 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(tutors):
count = len(tutors.keys())
return count
def num_courses(tutors):
count = 0
course_list = []
for name in tutors.keys():
for course in tutors[name]:
if course not in course_list:
course_list.append(course)
return len(course_list)
def courses(tutors):
avail_courses = []
for courses in tutors.values():
avail_courses.extend(courses)
return avail_courses
def most_courses(tutors):
course_count = 0
teacher_name = ''
for name, courses in tutors.items():
lf len(courses) > course_count:
course_count = len(courses)
teacher_name = name
else:
continue
return teacher_name

function. Where you meant to type if
you actually typed lf
