not accepting my code even though it is printing the correct answer...

code is...

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

Your code here

for i in continents: if i[0].lower() == "a": print(i)

continents.py 
continents = [
    'Asia',
    'South America',
    'North America',
    'Africa',
    'Europe',
    'Antarctica',
    'Australia',
]
# Your code here

for i in continents:
    if i[0].lower() == "a":
        print(i)

Hi Jenny

You are missing an asterisk and a space before the continent. The output should be:

* Asia
* Africa
* Antarctica
* Australia

Good luck!
