Not sure why I'm having issues with my code in the continents.py code challenge.

My code is working in workspaces but not in the challenge. I've tried reloading the page and I only get this error message:

Bummer: AssertionError: '* Asia' not found in '*Asia\n*South America\n*North America\n*Africa\n*Europe\n*Antarctica\n*Australia' : Hmm...not finding the correct items in your output

The challenge asks:

Print a bulleted list of each continent from the continents list. Output should look similar to:

  • Asia
  • South America

This is my code:

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

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

possibly you just need a space between the bullet and the continent? 

print("* " + continent)
