Hi, I'm not too sure as to how I should tackled this problem. Any hints as to how I should approach this?

Hi, I'm not too sure as to how I should tackled this problem. Any hints as to how I should approach this? Please be a little more specific than the hint which suggests i use the index.

Hello, Why are using the string "Books"? It is asking you to make a bullet point list of the continents. 

for continent in continents:
    print("*" ,continent)

Let me know if you have questions.

for part 2of 2 you want to check the first character for each continent. 

for continent in continents:
    if continent [0] == 'A':
        print("*" ,continent)

Thank you so much! And the "books" must've been accidentally copied from somewhere else lol.
