Yes, notice that you also failed the grader for the previous function `get_country`. There’s a very common error in that function that involves referencing global variables instead of the actual parameters being passed to your function. If you make that mistake in `get_country` then `get_accuracy` also fails the grader, since it calls `get_country`. ---

Just as a general matter, when you pass the tests in the notebook, but fail the grader, it means that your code is not “general”. E.g. you’ve hard-coded some assumptions like dimensions to match the particular test case in the notebook or you’ve referenced a global variable that happens to be passed as an argument in the notebook case, but the grader passes a different input parameter. ---

Thanks. It is working now. ---

Glad to see your problem is resolved, but you could leave a legacy for future learners by sharing information about what changed. Did you just restart the kernel and ‘run all’ ? Use a different browser? Fix a bug? Any best practice or takeaways others can use? Thanks ---

Sorry Sir I am not able to apply your hint. Please help me how to make this particular code cell more general. This is the only assignment I am facing problems Sir, please help me with this. Thank You (I am a big fan of you Sir) ---

It is probably [my earlier comment](https://community.deeplearning.ai/t/vote-issue-in-grading-the-assignment-3-in-nlp-course-1/309752/3) that is the one that is more specific to this problem. Did you read and think about what it says there? ---

Yes Sir I understood it very well but somehow I am just not able to perform desired changes. Please suggest me the change. Thank You _{moderator edit - solution code removed}_ ---

Ask yourself why you reference two different variables `embeddings` and `word_embeddings` in that code? Where is `word_embeddings` defined? It is a global variable that happens to be passed as an argument (by reference) to `get_country` by the code given in the notebook. So writing the code the way you did is not general: it works in the notebook because that is what happened to get passed as the `embeddings` argument. But what if the grader passes a different dictionary for that argument? Kaboom, right? 🙀 ---

Thank You Sir, I knew your help will be worth it. Thank you for your patience.
