3,930 PointsWhat am i missing on this challenge?
I thought i could change it so the values in the dictionary were the len(value) so the dictory would read { teacher: int} then i broke the dictionary into tuples so id have ordered lsit and then append them into my empty list.
# 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(dict):
teacher_count = 0
for teacher in dict:
teacher_count +=1
return teacher_count
def num_courses(dict):
courses = 0
for value in dict.values():
courses += len(value)
return courses
def courses(dict):
new_list = []
for value in dict.values():
new_list.extend(value)
return new_list
def most_courses(dict):
winning_teacher = ''
max_number = 0
for key, value in dict.items():
if len(value) > max_number:
max_number = len(value)
winning_teacher = key
return winning_teacher
def stats(dict):
tuple_list = []
for value in dict.values():
value = len(value)
for item in dict.items():
tuple_list.append(item)
return tuple_list

As I demonstrate here, you need to create a list of lists. This list consists of 2 item lists, the first is the name, the second is the number of courses. In the dictinionary, the key is responsible for the name, the courses' list can give you the number of courses, if you use the "len()" function.
Keep coding!
def stats(dict):
tuple_list = []
for key, value in dict.items():
tuple_list.append([key, len(value)])
return tuple_list
