how do i write the code please help

I'd like you to now only print continents that begin with the letter "A".

HINT: Remember that you can access characters in a string by index

Important: In each task of this code challenge, the code you write should be added to the code from the previous task.

continents.py

continents = [

'Asia',

'South America',

'North America',

'Africa',

'Europe',

'Antarctica',

'Australia',

]

for continent in continents:

print("* " + continent)

​

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

for the second part you might want to try something like this:

for continent in continents:
    if continent[0] == 'A':
        print("* {}".format(continent))

Hey Caleb Newell! I'm glad to see you want to help, that's great. :) I just want to let you know, it is usually frowned on to just give the answer to the challenge without an explanation of why and how it works.

Happy coding!
