Python Python Collections (Retired) Dictionaries Teacher Stats

this challenge is giving me problems tried to create the code from previous accomplishments but it wont pass.

keeps on asking where is most_classes?

teachers.py
# 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(my_dict):
  winrarTeacher = 0
  winrarClasses = ""
  for teacher in my_Dict.keys():
    numClasses = len(myDict[teacher])
    if num_Classes > winrarClasses:
      winrarTeacher = teacher
      winrarClasses = numclasses
    else:
      continue
  return winrar_teacher

Hi, there's serious variable naming inconsistency issue with your code.

You have

  • my_dict, my_Dict, myDict
  • numClasses, num_Classes, numclasses
  • winrarTeacher, winrar_teacher

mixed all over the place. You need to fix these problems first before your code can run.

thank you hadn't checked that
