Hi, the working code is this:

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

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

first u do a for loop an iterating each element in the array, then u need to check if the first letter which is in index zero starts with a, if it is u print.

if this helps u mark as best answer
