continental challenge

I am completely stuck on Task 2 of the Continental Challenge. I thought I got it (after some thinking), but it still won't pass. I have tried this exact same code in the workspace on another list and it gave me the expected result! What am I missing?!

continents.py 
continents = ['Asia', 'South America', 'North America', 'Africa', 'Europe', 'Antarctica', 'Australia']
for continent in continents:
    print("* " + continent)

for continent in continents:
    if continent[0] == "A":
        print(continent)

HI Joni, you don't need the first for loop. Just modify your second print statement so the result is 

* A ...
* A ...

I hope this helps

for continent in continents: if continent[0] == "A": print("* " + continent)

Here is a condensed version that combines both tasks into one.
