Bummer: AssertionError: 7 != 9 : Please don't alter the continents list Looping through array

Could someone please point out the error I am making? Can't seem to find it myself. :(

continents.py 
continents = ['Asia', 'South America', 'North America', 'Africa', 'Europe', 'Antarctica', 'Australia']
for continents in continents:
    print("* " + continents)

It's because in your foreach loop you have an s at the end of the first continents variable. With Python foreach loops the first variable should be named differently to the second variable, as it is assigning an element from the array to a new variable.

You want to print the singular continent, not the whole list.
