What's wrong with this code?

Why i get this wrong it's says that didn't find what it's expect to be

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

Hi there! Would it be encouraging to know that you're off by one letter? :smiley: It's all set up correctly but the place you should be looking for the "a" is in the first place of the item variable... not the items list. Take a look:

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

Here we're looking through our items list. We need to check the first letter of the current item to see if it's "a". Hope this helps! :sparkles:
