974 PointsUnable to print continents that start with the letter "A"
Hello, I'm just stuck trying to print out the continents that start with the letter "A". I know what I have obviously is not correct, the output just prints out the first three letters of each word. Going over my notes and doing a search, I could not find a workable solution.
continents = [
'Asia',
'South America',
'North America',
'Africa',
'Europe',
'Antarctica',
'Australia',
]
print("Continents: ")
for continent in continents:
print("* " + continent)
print("Continents that start with A: ")
for word in continents:
print("* " + word[0:3])

for continent in continents:
print("* " + continent)
print("Continents that start with A: ")
for word in continents:
# put condition here:
# if word[0] == 'A': print("* " + word)
print("* " + word[0:3])
