1,129 PointsWhat wrong with my code? I think it works really fine, but I still got Bummer. (Task 4) --> (most_courses)
- I am new with this language, but I never give up! -
I really appreciate if someone hints me how to do with task 4.
Thank you very much!
# 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(dictionary):
length_dict = len(dictionary)
return length_dict
def num_courses(dictionary):

for key in dictionary:

Remove the in for
loop, and compare the length of the courses lists
. Hint: replace len(value)
with len(lists)
Post back if you need more help. Good luck!
