Hello, I don't understand why I get this problem. Could you please help me with an explanation? Thank you

I run the code in the workspace and it worked.

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(dictT):
    listOfT = []
    for item in dictT:
        listOfT.append(item)
    return len(listOfT)


def num_courses(dicT):
    listOfC = []
    for item in dicT.values():
        listOfC += item
    print(len(listOfC))

Your num_courses function actually don't return anything. In the last line you print the result instead of returning it. You did good in everything else, I just tested the code in the challenge.

def num_courses(dicT):
    listOfC = []
    for item in dicT.values():
        listOfC += item
    return(len(listOfC))
