Question

Same idea as the last one. My loopy function needs to skip an item this time, though.
Loop through each item in items again. If the character at index 0 of the current item is the letter "a", continue to the next one. Otherwise, print out the current member.
Example: ["abc", "xyz"] will just print "xyz".
Above is the question asking to write code that will create output that skips over items in a list that start with the character 'a'.
Below is my code:
python
def loopy(items):
    for i in items:
        if i[0] == 'a':
            continue
        else:
            print i

Hi there, Muaath!  First, you're doing great!  I'm not sure why this is working on your computer, to be perfectly honest.  The print function requires a set of parentheses, and generally, has at least one argument, although this can be omitted if you're simply looking to print a new line.
The problem with your code is that the thing you are printing is not in parentheses.  If I simply place the i inside a pair of parentheses after the print, your code passes! 
Here's an example:
```py
name = "Jennifer"
print(name)
```
You can find more documentation on input and output in Python here (https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/inputoutput.html)
Hope this helps! :sparkles:
