If the character at index 0 of the current item is the letter "a", continue to the next one.

What is wrong in my code?

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

please work on with the indentation, your logic is correct, the way, you have tackled, the question is correct, but, you gotta work on to your indentations, if you are to continue as a python developer, cause, python is not forgiving on it's indentation, unlike other languages, loops and if's, and the statements are differentiated and understood by the python engine, on the basis of indentation.

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