All of your **Level 1** tests are now passing: ``` ..........FFFFFFFFFF. ^ Level 1 passed ``` Every failing test is from **Level 2**, and every failure is the same symptom: ```python self.db.top_n_parcels(...) ``` returns ```python [] ``` instead of something like ```python ["employee(2)"] ``` This almost always means **one of three things**. ### 1. You never record operation counts You should have something like ```python self.operation_counts = {} ``` in `__init__`. Every successful modification to a key should increment its count. For example, ```python def _record_event(self, key): self.operation_counts[key] = self.operation_counts.get(key, 0) + 1 ``` --- ### 2. You're not calling `_record_event` Every successful modifying operation should call it. For example, ```python def increment(self, key, field, value): ... self._record_event(key) ``` and ```python def delete(self, key, field): ... self._record_event(key) ``` Only successful modifications count. A failed delete should **not** increment. --- ### 3. `top_n_parcels()` isn't using the counts It should resemble ```python def top_n_parcels(self, n): items = sorted( self.operation_counts.items(), key=lambda x: (-x[1], x[0]) ) return [ f"{key}({count})" for key, count in items[:n] ] ``` The sort order is 1. highest count first 2. alphabetical key if tied Example ```python { "foo": 3, "bar": 3, "apple": 1 } ``` becomes ```python [ "bar(3)", "foo(3)", "apple(1)" ] ``` because `"bar"` comes before `"foo"` alphabetically. --- ## One more thing One of the tests is called ``` key_deleted_and_recreated_and_stats ``` That strongly suggests that **deleting a key should not erase its operation count**. For example ``` increment("aaa") increment("aaa") delete(...) ``` Count = 3 If the key is recreated later, ``` increment("aaa") ``` Count becomes ``` 4 ``` not ``` 1 ``` So **don't do this** when deleting the last field: ```python del self.operation_counts[key] # ❌ ``` Instead, only remove the key from your data store: ```python del self.database[key] ``` and leave `operation_counts` untouched. --- If you paste your current `ParcelTrackingSystemImpl` class, especially: - `__init__` - `increment()` - `delete()` - `_record_event()` - `top_n_parcels()` I can identify the exact line causing all 10 failures.

The failures haven't changed at all. Every single one still shows: ```python top_n_parcels(...) == [] ``` That tells us something very specific: - Your `top_n_parcels()` method is executing. - The collection it is reading from is **empty**. - None of the modifying operations are ever recording statistics. This is **not** enough information to diagnose the bug, because the test output doesn't include your implementation. The most likely causes are: ```python class ParcelTrackingSystemImpl: def __init__(self): self.database = {} self.operation_counts = {} # <-- Is this here? ``` and ```python def _record_event(self, key): self.operation_counts[key] = self.operation_counts.get(key, 0) + 1 ``` and every successful modification must do ```python self._record_event(key) ``` For example, ```python def increment(...): ... self._record_event(key) ``` and ```python def delete(...): ... self._record_event(key) ``` Finally, ```python def top_n_parcels(self, n): items = sorted( self.operation_counts.items(), key=lambda x: (-x[1], x[0]) ) return [f"{k}({v})" for k, v in items[:n]] ``` --- ### At this point I need to see your code. Please paste your `ParcelTrackingSystemImpl` class (or at least): - `__init__` - `increment()` - `delete()` - `_record_event()` - `top_n_parcels()` Without the implementation, I can only guess. With the code, I can point to the exact line that's causing all 10 failures.
