I've been breaking my head on this one for a few. Can anyone give me some hints as to why my last function does not pass? This is a three part challenge, and my first two functions pass. The third function is supposed to generate a list of lists from the dictionary (mydict).
# The dictionary will be something like:
# {'Jason Seifer': ['Ruby Foundations', 'Ruby on Rails Forms', 'Technology Foundations'],
# 'Kenneth Love': ['Python Basics', 'Python Collections']}
#
# Often, it's a good idea to hold onto a max_count variable.
# Update it when you find a teacher with more classes than
# the current count. Better hold onto the teacher name somewhere
# too!
#
# Your code goes below here.
def most_classes(mydict):
num_classes = 0
busy_teacher = ''
for k, v in mydict.items():
if len(v) > num_classes:
num_classes = len(v)
busy_teacher = k
return busy_teacher
def num_teachers(mydict):
return len(mydict.keys())
def stats(mydict):
for k, v in mydict.items():
newlist = []
newlist.append([k, len(v)])
return newlist

- You want to declare "newlist" before the loop (fix the line order and indentation)
- You want to return the new list after the loop (check the indentation)
I'll bet you can get it now without an explicit spoiler.

7,235 PointsAgreed with Steven Parker : Here are pieces of code that might help you.
def stats(mydict):
newlist = list()
for k, v in mydict.items():
newlist.append([k, len(v)])
return newlist
