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

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

You’ll want to loop through the continents array. :) the system is also very precise on making sure the string matches with spaces and capitalization.

The code should look something like:

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

If you want to be fancy, shorten your code a little, you can use string interpolation.
