This works in pyfiddle but doesnt work in the editor.
Would be helpful to have some sort of console on this to print to
# E.g. word_count("I do not like it Sam I Am") gets back a dictionary like:
# {'i': 2, 'do': 1, 'it': 1, 'sam': 1, 'like': 1, 'not': 1, 'am': 1}
# Lowercase the string to make it easier.
def word_count(str):
dict = {}
word_array = str.lower().split(" ")
for word in word_array:
if word not in dict:
dict[word] = 1
else:
dict[word] += 1
return dict

Treehouse TeacherHi there! It sort of works. My guess is that you didn't try any strings that contain tabs or newline characters. The challenge explicitly says to split on all whitespace, but currently, you are only splitting on spaces.
Try again splitting on all whitespace.
Hope this helps!
