I ran a script through the workspace but in the challenge it is not working.

I am trying to do a challenge to list continents in bullet points, This is my script:

continents = ['Asia', 'South America', 'North America', 'Africa', 'Europe', 'Antarctica', 'Australia']

Your code here

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

I ran this through the workspace and it works but the challenge won't accept it.

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

Hello, You have to use the element name set in the for loop, in this case continent, you have continents and that means in each iteration you are trying to print all the continents

print("* " + continent)
