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

Did you look at the preview? It had "TypeError: bad operand type for unary +: 'list'"

That's a hint that you don't want that "+" sign in front of your argument.

Also, that slice is always taking just the first item from the list, and returning it inside a list. What you really want is to display each item in sequence, as a string. The loop conveniently puts that into the variable "continent" (singluar) for you.

This worked for me:

continents = [
    'Asia',
    'South America',
    'North America',
    'Africa',
    'Europe',
    'Antarctica',
    'Australia',
]
for continent in continents:
    print ('*', continent)

how do I display each item in a string format. have 2 print outputs you saying?

You need to have a space in between the asterix.

continents = [
    'Asia',
    'South America',
    'North America',
    'Africa',
    'Europe',
    'Antarctica',
    'Australia',
]
for x in continents:
    print("* "+ x)

*Note: for this exercise, it is quite buggy about the answers it will accept. It will even mark it as an error for something minor like indentation or spacing. *

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

This is the correct answer and what has worked. There is a space after the asterisk.

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

`Correct Output shown on right side in test results: Output for continents.py

• Asia
• South America
• North America
• Africa
• Europe
• Antarctica
• Australia`

this is what the output should look like:

* Asia
* South America

To get the same results, one could also use this : print("*", continent) See the difference? No space after the * because the comma then iteration variable places a space for you.

print("* " + continent) print("*", continent)

the exercise won't accept the this answer but it is just as valid.

This is the answer: for continent in continents: print("* " + continent)

this is what worked for me

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

For continent in continents: Print("*" , continent)

It work for me on the first task

This is the code that worked for me

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

for continent in continents:
      if continent[0] == 'A':
          print('*', continent)

It should be written this way to avoid indentation errors. Read the hints carefully. And watch the videos leading up to this, it'll make it easier to figure out.

I'm still getting an error. not sure how to display each item as a string.

continents = ['Asia', 'South America', 'North America', 'Africa', 'Europe', 'Antarctica', 'Australia']
for continent in continents:
    print("*", continent[0])
    print("*", continent[1])

Try this solution :

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

continents = [ 'Asia', 'South America', 'North America', 'Africa', 'Europe', 'Antarctica', 'Australia', ] for item in continents[0:2]: print('*',item) Output:

• Asia
• South America

What does the asterisk mean?

this worked for me

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