my for loop script is not working/running

continents = [ 'Asia', 'South America', 'North America', 'Africa', 'Europe', 'Antarctica', 'Australia', ]

Your code here

print("continents:") for continent in continents: print("*" + continent)

Hey Terfa,

I'll try to help out, but I don't know what the expected result is without the quiz link. Here are a couple of things I noticed.

  • At the end of you continents list, you have a trailing comma after 'Australia',
  • Without seeing the original script formatting, I am assuming you have something like:
print("continents:")
for continent in continents:
    print("*" + continent)  # or similar print("*{}".format(continent))

The result would be: continents:

  • *Asia
  • *South America
  • ...

If that doesn't work, you might not be meeting a specific formatting requirement of the quiz. Please respond back with a link or description of the quiz if you're still running into trouble and we'll figure it out.

Don't give up!
