Not sure how to access the dictionary keys to return the teacher in the for loop if we're using the for loop on the dictionary values.
# 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(dict_teachers):
count=0
for teacher in dict_teachers.keys():
count+=1
return count
def num_courses(dict_courses):
count=0
for courses in dict_courses.values():
count+=len(courses)
return count
def courses(course):
course_list=[]
for title in course.values():
course_list+=title
return course_list
def most_courses(courses):
count=None
for title in courses.values:
if len(title)>count:
count=len(title)
else:
continue
return

test_dict = {
'Andrew Chalkley': ['jQuery Basics', 'Node.js Basics'],
'Kenneth Love': ['Python Basics', 'Python Collections']
}
for name, course_list in test_dict.items():
print('\n')
print('Name is --> ', name)
print('Course List is --> ', course_list)
for course_name in course_list:
print('Individual course ', course_name, 'for teacher ', name)
# output
Name is --> Andrew Chalkley
Course List is --> ['jQuery Basics', 'Node.js Basics']
Individual course jQuery Basics for teacher Andrew Chalkley
Individual course Node.js Basics for teacher Andrew Chalkley
Name is --> Kenneth Love
Course List is --> ['Python Basics', 'Python Collections']
Individual course Python Basics for teacher Kenneth Love
Individual course Python Collections for teacher Kenneth Love
Is that what you're asking?

18,975 PointsIt's ok, I finally figured it out. My return shouldn't have been in the for loop. Thanks!

18,975 PointsThanks, this solves how I can include the keys in the for loop using the items() method but I need to find the teacher with the most courses. I updated my code with the items method but now I'm getting an error saying I didn't get the right teacher.

19,870 PointsCorrect, the purpose was to answer
Sounds like you are having trouble debugging your logic to determine the teacher with the most courses and to return that teacher's name in the required format. What's your code look like and what do you get when testing it in a workspace or locally?
