Hi, As a test I am trying to write a function that returns the sum of values attached to one key in a dictionary. I am wondering why the code that I wrote is returning: "maximum recursion depth exceeded " Here is the code:
animals = { 'a': ['aardvark'], 'b': ['baboon'], 'c': ['coati']} x = animals['a'] def howMany(aDict): count = 0 for value in howMany(aDict): count += 1 return count howMany(x) Just wondering why I would be getting that error.
