1,923 Pointsunorderable types: list() > int() Why? My code runs in Workspaces
I know there are better ways to do it. But why does my way work in the work spaces. But not in the webpage of treehouse?
In my workspace code I added my own dictionary
t_dict = {'teacher1': 5 , 'teacher2': 2, 'teacher3': 3, 'teacher4': 2, 'teacher5': 6 }
And it returns the name teacher 5 100% of the time without throwing the error: Bummer! unorderable types: list() > int().
def most_classes(t_dict):
max_value = -1
for teacher_name in t_dict:
if t_dict[teacher_name] > max_value:
max_value = t_dict[teacher_name]
for teacher_name in t_dict:
if t_dict[teacher_name] == max_value:
max_value = teacher_name
return max_value
# In the last for-loop i reassign max_value to the dictionary key, so i can return the name of the teacher with the most classes

Treehouse Guest TeacherYours doesn't fail because you're using numbers as your dictionary values but the actual test, as explained in the commented text at the top, uses lists as the dict values.
