For the most_courses function challenge in the Pythons Collections course, I've tried several solutions and not sure why they aren't passing...can anyone shed some light please?
def most_courses(teacher_breakdown):
count = 0
values_list = []
for teacher in teacher_breakdown.values():
values_list.append(teacher)
if len(values_list) > count:
count = (len(values_list))
for name in teacher_breakdown:
if name[] == count
return name
also tried:
def most_courses(teacher_breakdown):
max_count = 0
max_teacher = ""
for teacher, courses in teacher_breakdown.items():
if len(courses) > max_count
max_count = len(courses)
max_teacher = teacher
return max_teacher
# 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(teacher_breakdown):
number_teachers = 0
