634 PointsCan#t find out which code to use
Trying to come up with the right code for question two.. I believe I should use if but don't know how to access all the first letters in a list... and how to make that an if statement. Please help.
continents = ['Asia', 'South America', 'North America', 'Africa', 'Europe', 'Antarctica', 'Australia']
for continent in continents_a:
print("* " + continent)

Python Development Techdegree Student 36,887 PointsHi Luis,
You're already iterating through the list, so during each iteration you only need to know how to access the first character in a string. Remember that you can index into a string with square brackets, just like a list. If you need a refresher on indexing into lists, have a rewatch of Indexing.
As for putting it in an if statement, once you have the first character in the string, you can use the == operator to compare it to the letter 'A'.
Hope that helps
Alex
