Courses Plus Student 11,835 PointsI finally solved the second part of the challenge which I assume you are referring to.
for continent in continents:
if continent[0] == 'A':
print('* ' + continent)
That way, each loop it will check if the first character of the continent
is an A and then print it

, the continents
variable refers to the list, and does not change over the course of the loop. Your continent
variable changes to a different string each pass through the loop, but you have not used its value. If you change continents
to continent
, then one continent will be printed each loop.
You will also need to add a single space after the asterisk and before the continent to pass the challenge.
