# 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(a_dict):
return len(a_dict.keys())
def num_courses(a_dict):
count = 0
for teacher in a_dict:
count += len(a_dict[teacher])
return count
def courses(a_dict):
new = []
for key,value in a_dict.items():
for values in a_dict[key]:
new.append(values)
return new
def most_courses(a_dict):
max_count = 0
for teacher, classes in a_dict.items():
if len(classes) > max_count:
max_count = len(classes)
named = teacher
return named
def most_courses(teachers_info):
max_count = 0
for teacher, courses in teachers_info.items():
if len(courses) > max_count:
max_count = len(courses)
max_teacher = teacher
return max_teacher

Treehouse TeacherHi there! I honestly have no idea, as your code passes for me on Step 4. This might be indicative of a caching issue either client side or server side. But there is nothing wrong with your code, and the challenge says so. I really wish I had a better answer for you here, but your code does pass Step 4.
Hope this helps!
