Hello there,
I wrote the code for this task and tested it in my python interpreter and it works perfectly, but when i tried to submit my answer it gives me error for some reason which is kinda weird.
Also, if there is a better way other than comparison to an empty set, i would to learn it. Thank you.

Treehouse Project ReviewerHi Nader Alharbi. You are very close and you are right, in the python interpreter, it passes but not in the challenge, the reason is that because the challenge asking overlap in other words intersection() or &. The method what you used is difference() or -. Of course, you don't need the comparison as well, == set(). Also, double check the naming of the covers function, only in the second half of the challenge you need to name it like covers_all.
I hope this will help you out in the first half, the second part it's not so different from the first just read carefully the instructions. Happy coding!

2,253 PointsSorry if i was not clear on this, I already passed part one with intersection and this code is for part 2 which i am stuck on.

Treehouse Project ReviewerThe second part is not so different from the first, just a different method should be used. On the second quiz, you need to invert what is in the
ifstatement, you looking forsubset. Also, don't forget to keep the first function, thecovers. I hope this will help you to figure out. Happy coding.Nader Alharbi

2,253 PointsHahaha, you were right. My function was correct. All i had to do is just add the function from part 1 (covers).
I passed the question, but i still don't understand one thing, how can i remove the checking for empty set in my if condition? i want to be coding in the best way not just pass questions with unnecessary codes

Treehouse Project ReviewerYou mean
if title - COURSES[course_dictionary] == set(): <--- this set() part?My solution was this
if COURSES[course_dictionary] >= title:
