Printing in a list Python pls help.

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

I type this in the quiz for printing the list of the continents but it pops with an AssertionError saying asia cannot be fount in continents I'm so confused.

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

When you concatenate a string, there are no spaces inserted. So does it print.. "*Asia"? If so, that isn't"* Asia"!
