Courses Plus Student 543 Pointscant figure out index exceptions
ive tried a couple ways to exclude non-A countries but nothing has worked. for example: except continents != (str[0] == "A")
continents = ['Asia', 'South America', 'North America', 'Africa', 'Europe', 'Antarctica', 'Australia']
# Your code here
for continent in continents:
print("* " + continent)

You'll probably want to put an "if" statement between the loop and the print lines, so the print only runs when the correct condition is met.
The challenge included this "HINT: Remember that you can access characters in a string by index". So if you used an index to access the first character you could compare it to a specific one you want to see.

Courses Plus Student 543 PointsThank you for the reply. I have tried using a if statement but may be confused in my understanding of the writing logic. For example in between the loop and print ive written different lines such as
If continents(str[0] == "A"): or even If continents[[0]] == "A":. But its not working for me.
Thanks again

229,785 PointsIt looks like you have the right idea, but several syntax errors:
If continents[[0]] == "A":
