Challenge Task 1 of 5

Hi There

I am stuck on this one. metal block

teachers.py 
# 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(arg):
arg = {'Andrew Chalkley': ['jQuery Basics', 'Node.js Basics'],'Kenneth Love': ['Python Basics', 'Python Collections']}
    for key in arg.keys():
    return key

Here's a few hints:

  • you won't need to define the arg, it will be passed in by the challenge
  • you won't need a loop
  • you only need to return the number of keys, not any specific one(s)
