Challenge Teacher 4/5: What if multiple teachers have the same amount of courses...

Hey,

I was practicing in the workspace and realized that if I had multiple teachers with the same amount I would get only one listed in my case "Andrew Chalkey".

So I tried to find a solution here it is

That won't work. If your dictionary has an increasing amount of courses for each entry then all teachers will be included. For example try:

my_dict = {'Andrew Chalkley': ['jQuery Basics'], 'Kenneth Love': ['Python Basics', 'Python Collections'],'Teacher 3': ['Course 1', 'Course 2', 'Course 3']}

Here Andrew has one course, Kenneth two, and Teacher 3 has three. len(courses) is greater than max_count as we proceed through the dictionary so each teacher is appended.

You could go through the dictionary twice. Once to get the max count. Then a second time to append teachers that match the max count.
