Treehouse Project Reviewerthis do what the quiz asking, why it isn't ok?

# 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(word):
new_dict={}
a = word.lower().split(' ')
for x in range(len(a)):
new_dict[a[x]] = a.count(a[x])
return new_dict

a = word.lower().split()
