Hello;

Welcome to Treehouse!

For this challenge you can get through it using a for loop.

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

Post back if you have additional questions.

Happy coding,
Ken

Hi!

I'm not 100% sure that this will fix your issue but you are not closing your loopy function at all. This might be causing the error that you are experiencing.
