Treehouse Moderator 68,425 PointsHint: Given that in each loop, continent
contains the string name:
- The first character of some
string
can be reference usingstring[0]
, or - The method
string.startswith()
returns a Boolean if the argument matches the beginning of the string
Add an if
statement that uses one of the above comparisons and prints only conditions are correct.
