Python stuck

Question

This challenge has several steps so take your time, read the instructions carefully, and feel free to experiment in Workspaces or on your own computer. For this first task, create a function named num_teachers that takes a single argument, which will be a dictionary of Treehouse teachers and their courses. The num_teachers function should return an integer for how many teachers are in the dict.

my code does not get through:

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.

teachers = {'Andrew Chalkley': ['jQuery Basics', 'Node.js Basics'], 'Kenneth Love': ['Python Basics', 'Python Collections']}

def num_teachers(teachers):

count = 0

for d in teachers.keys():

    count = count+1


print(count)

num_teachers(teachers)

The instructions say "The num_teachers function should return an integer".

But this code seems to be missing a "return" statement. It does have a "print", but the instructions don't ask for anything to be printed.
