Receive 'Bummer! Couldn't find the right items printed'

Hi all,

please see my code attached - I receive the following error message: Receive 'Bummer! Couldn't find the right items printed'. Any ideas? Thanks a million, Christian

breaks.py 
def loopy(items):
    # Code goes here
    for item in items:
        if item == 'a' :
            break
        else:
            print(items)

I suggest you look at how indexing works again because the question asks for you to skip "a" if it is at index 0. Here is how I solved it:

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