Having some trouble with this

Instructions Same idea as the last one. My loopy function needs to skip an item this time, though. Loop through every item in items. If the current item's index 0 is the letter "a", continue to the next one. Otherwise, print out every member of items.

breaks.py
def loopy(items):
    for item in items: 
      if item.index(0) == "a":
        continue
      print(items)

Hey Makan, Anish here again

def loopy(items):
    for item in items:
      if item[0] == 'a':
        continue
      print(item)

Perfect.

Hey Makan, to see the value of index 0 you just have to write [0] followed by the item, not the index by itself. Everything rest is fine...

def loopy(items):
    # Code goes here
    for item in items:
      if item[0] == "a":
        continue
      else:  
        print(item)

Perfect.
