Python Web Development Techdegree Student 1,971 PointsWow, I just can't stump you! OK, two more to go. I think this one's my favorite, though. Create a function named most_c
i am getting the Error that says: "It looks like Task 3 is not passing anymore." And when i go back to task 3 it still passes. HELP
# 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):
teacher_count = 0
for teacher in teachers:
teacher_count +=1
return teacher_count
def num_courses(teachers):
total_courses = 0
for value in teachers.values():
for course in value:
total_courses +=1
return total_courses
def most_courses(teachers):
max_courses = 0
bestteacher = ""
for key,value in teachers.item():
if len(values)> max_courses:
max_course = len(value)
bestteacher = teacher
return bestteacher

Python Web Development Techdegree Student 1,971 Pointsfor some reason this i s omitting my courses function. S o it doesn't show up on the board when i get to step4

Python Web Development Techdegree Student 1,971 PointsHere is all the steps, but i had to copy step 3 then paste it into step 4 stage. I don't know why when i get to step 4 it automatically omit the step 3 function which is the courses function
nakalkucing
12,964 PointsIn "most_courses" why do you have
bestteacher = ""
? It might work fine. But I didn't use an empty string in my code, and I just wondered if you could tell me. Thanks.
nakalkucing
12,964 PointsDo you mean that the challenge itself omits task 3 every time you come to task 4?
mamadou diene
Python Web Development Techdegree Student 1,971 Pointsyes i does
nakalkucing
12,964 PointsOk. Have you tried leaving the challenge, doing something else, and then retrying the challenge?

nakalkucing
12,964 PointsOk. I don't see the purpose of
besteacher = ""
in the fourth function of your code. You might try completely removing that line. : ) Hope that fixes it, Nakal

12,964 PointsHi! Could you post your just plain "courses" function? I'd love to help but I really can't with only part of your code. : ) Thanks, Nakal
