45 PointsCompletely lost on the "Continental" challenge in the Python Track. I can't solve it even with the hint
How do we get to solve it and what taught process do we use. I've search for indexes and everything and I end up always short. Can someone just give me a small run down of what to do and why? Thank you

* Asia
* South America
Given the continents is a list of strings, the process would be:
- loop over the list using format
for name in some_list: - print each name preceded by a "
*". You can use simple + string concatenation, or a formated string
For part 2, you'll need to check if the first character is an "A". You can test for this using if name[0] == 'A':
Post back if you still need more help. Good luck!
