So I think what my code is doing is only returning 2 values of the dict because there are only 2 keys. If thats the case, can you point me in the right direction? (not give me the answer)
# 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(teachers):
count = 0
for teacher in teachers:
count += 1
return count
def num_courses(courses):
count = 0
for value in courses.values():
count += 1
return count

I believe that 'count' is just returning the number of values rather than the number of items INSIDE of those value lists.
Cheer man and happy coding.
