I cant seem to figure out this error

sorry, relatively new coder here :/ and I have tried configuring this several different ways but it keeps giving me an error, I'm sure I probably just overlooked something. Any and all help appreciated. thanks, Keith Griffin

breaks.py 
def loopy(items):
    # Code goes here
    for item in items:
        if item == "a":
            continue
        print(item)

You need to tell it where to look for the “a” at. Instructions say the 0 index so [0] needs added in somewhere, I’ll leave that to you! :)

No problem, I know programming can get frustrating beyond belief, and really that’s one of the things I like about it. Python was my intro to programming and it is a lot to take in. My advice is try not to get overwhelmed. And I believe Kenneth says it himself in one course, “errors are going to happen.. a lot.”
