Why isnt my code correct, it gives the same output as expected in the question???

I have used for in loop and my code only prints the continents which start with A. As asked in the question

continents.py 
continents = ['Asia', 'South America', 'North America', 'Africa', 'Europe', 'Antarctica', 'Australia']
# Your code here


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

I would also consider your code as being correct, but the challenge apparently still wants you to print out a bulleted list like in task 1 of 2. Here is my solution:

continents = ['Asia', 'South America', 'North America', 'Africa', 'Europe', 'Antarctica', 'Australia']
# Your code here

for continent in continents:
    if continent[0] == "A":
        print("* {}".format(continent))
