Can someone help me to figure out how to do challenge # 4 to list all courses offered by all teachers?
Additionally, I am struggling to figure out a program solution on top of my head with each challenge. I always need to go trial and error and change some lines of code before I finally got the correct solution. Are there ways to improve our brain mentally and be able to figure out a program in our head for different challenges with practice before we start coding?
# 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(teacherdict):
newdict = {}
for key, value in teacherdict.items():
newdict[ len(value) ] = key
return newdict[ max(newdict.keys()) ]
def num_teachers(teacherdict):
return len(teacherdict)
def stats(teachers):
num_classes = []
for name, value in teachers.items():
new_list = [name, len(value)]
num_classes.append(new_list)
return num_classes
def courses(teachers):
class_list = []
for value in teachers.values():

Finally return the class_list.
