Trying to pass a task with most_courses function
Got an error TypeError: 'collections.OrderedDict' object is not callable
however the code runs fine in the Workspaces
# 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(dic):
counter = 0
for teacher in dic:
counter += 1
return counter
def num_courses(dic):
counter = 0
for teacher in dic.values():
counter += len(teacher)
return counter
def courses(dic):
listCourses = []
for courses in dic.values():
listCourses += courses
return listCourses
def most_courses(dic):
max_courses = 0
max_teacher = ''
for teacher in dic:
if max_courses < len(dic(teacher)):
max_courses = len(dic(teacher))
max_teacher = teacher
return max_teacher

# You are using:
dic(teacher)
# instead of
dic[teacher]
The first is seen as a call to the dic
function, the second is a indexed lookup using the key teacher
