Python Web Development Techdegree Student 537 PointsHow can I print only the letter A
Hello - I'm a little confused on how I can select certain continents. If I do 'continents[0] ', I get the first letter. How can I select the ones with the letter A?
continents = [
'Asia',
'South America',
'North America',
'Africa',
'Europe',
'Antarctica',
'Australia',
]
# Your code here
for continent in continents:
print("* " + continent[0])

Post back if you need more help. Good luck!!!

continents = [ 'Asia', 'South America', 'North America', 'Africa', 'Europe', 'Antarctica', 'Australia', ]
for continent in continents: if continent[0] == "A": print("* " + continent)
