1,508 PointsThe fourth question of this code challenge works in workspaces but not in the code challenge... what's wrong?
I realize that this code is a bit clunky, but I still don't understand why it won't work in the code challenge. I would highly appreciate it if someone knew what I am doing wrong.
# 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(dictionary):
return len(dictionary)
def num_courses(dictionary):
num = 0
for value in dictionary.values():
num += len(value)
return num
def courses(dictionary):
courses = []
for value in dictionary.values():
courses += value
return courses
def most_courses(dictdef most_courses(dictionary):
new_courses = {n: len(dictionary[n]) for n in dictionary.keys()}
return list(new_courses.keys())[list(new_courses.values()).index(max(new_courses.values()))]

This code worked great! You're right, the "def" line did not get printed right. Thanks!
