plz send the image of the code which plays the solution to this question
# E.g. word_count("I do not like it Sam I Am") gets back a dictionary like:
# {'i': 2, 'do': 1, 'it': 1, 'sam': 1, 'like': 1, 'not': 1, 'am': 1}
# Lowercase the string to make it easier.

Since you need to return a dictionary, you'll need to create one, and then the values in the dictionary will be each of the unique words, so you need to determine if the word you're adding already exists (since they won't automatically have a count of zero by default).
Hope that helps!

Treehouse TeacherPosting of explicit answers which can be copy/pasted into the challenge to pass with no explanation is frowned upon by Treehouse. People are more likely to help you with this if you at least post a "good faith" attempt. So far, all I see is the definition of the
word_countfunction. I would prefer to see more of an effort on your part. This is ultimately for your own benefit.
