Challenge Task 4 of 5 Wow, I just can't stump you! OK, two more to go. I think this one's my favorite, though.
Create a function named most_courses that takes our good ol' teacher dictionary.
most_courses should return the name of the teacher with the most courses. You might need to hold onto some sort of max count variable.
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): count = 0 for teacher in teachers: count += 1 return count
def num_courses(teachers): total = 0 for value in teachers.values(): for course in value: total += 1 return total
def courses(teachers): result = [] for courses in teachers.values(): result += courses return result
def most_courses(teachers): max_count = 0 professors = "" for teacher, num_course in teachers.items(): if len(num_courses) > max_count: max_count = len(num_courses) professors = teacher return professors
