Courses Plus Student 18,949 PointsI can't find a way to print continents which starts with "A".
Can anyone find the bug in the code?
continents = ['Asia', 'South America', 'North America', 'Africa', 'Europe', 'Antarctica', 'Australia']
# Your code here
for continent in continents:
print("* " + continent)
if continent[0] == "A":
print(continent)

Python Development Techdegree Graduate 14,438 PointsThis one is a little misleading. Despite what it says about adding your code to the code from the previous task, you're actually not supposed to here. You need to take out the line that prints the names of all the continents with bullets, and just leave the part that prints the continents starting with "A".

Courses Plus Student 18,949 PointsI solved the problem by putting if statement one line above and deleting the last print statement. The thing is that the answer still needs to be with those dots in front of every single continent starting with letter "A". Anyways, thank you very much for good insights.
