Code not working, not sure why.

Not sure why this isn't working, it can't retrieve the continents. Do I have to define the for part another way?

continents.py 
continents = [
    'Asia',
    'South America',
    'North America',
    'Africa',
    'Europe',
    'Antarctica',
    'Australia',
]
# Your code here

print("Continents:")
for continent in continents:
    print("*" + continent)

You're missing the space after the * 

print("Continents:")
for continent in continents:
    print("* " + continent)

That is what is causing an error otherwise, it should submit just fine!

Hi there, Avi Rajender ! You're doing terrific and you're off by literally one space. It's expecting the output to have a space between the asterisk and the name of the continent. Try putting a space after the asterisk but still inside the quotes like this: "* ".

Hope this helps! :sparkles:
