Hi,
My code throws error that "dict_values" object has no attribute index.
# 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.
teachers = {'Jason Seifer': ['Ruby Foundations', 'Ruby on Rails Forms', 'Technology Foundations'],'Kenneth Love': ['Python Basics', 'Python Collections']}
def most_classes(teachers):
count = 0
subject_dict = {}
for key,values in teachers.items():
new_values = len(values)
subject_dict={key:new_values}
values = subject_dict.values()
highest = values.index(max(values))
keys = subject_dict.keys()
max_teacher = keys[highest]
return max_teacher

if current > cmax:

I hope this helps
