"classes" in Dense(classes, ...)

Hi, in C2_W3_Assignment, the hints for Exercise 3 gave the following code to define the output layer in a neural network:

Dense(classes, activation = 'linear', name = "L3")

But Exercise 3 asks for 6 units for the output layer, and I didn’t see where the value 6 is assigned to “classes”. I’m wondering what “classes” is doing in the code, and how the model knows “classes” is equal to 6?

Hi!

The variable classes was defined in section 4.1 Data Set cell 16 where the dataset is made.

X, y, centers, classes, std = gen_blobs()
