It works on PyCharm , but workspaces doesnt accept it. Why??

This is the challenge on "word_count"

This code works fine using IDE pycharm. i can't understand why workspaces giving me an error "Hmm, didn't get the expected output. Be sure you're lowercasing the string and splitting on all whitespace!"

What is wrong here???

my code and what i am missing is here:

def word_count(string):
    lower_cased_string = string.lower()
    list_from_string = lower_cased_string.split(" ")

    new_dict = {}

    for item in list_from_string:
        new_dict[item] = list_from_string.count(item)

    return new_dict

Your code is fine minus one bad assumption. You're splitting on explicit spaces. What is the string has tabs or newlines in it? Just use .split().
