Cant get past Bulleted lists question

I'm on the Bulleted lists question. I cannot get past it. here is the code I'm using for my answer:

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

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

//ok, leave out the part of [0:2]
//you dont have to restrict to print only the first 2
//think of printing them all

* Asia 
* South America
* North America
* Africa
* Europe
* Antarctica
* Australia

//now could you please try
for continent in continents: print( " * "  + continent)
the above will give the answer correct
//but I'd suggest you take off the preceding space and put it like
for continent in continents: print( "* "  + continent)

Print a bulleted list of each continent from the continents list.

Output should look similar to:

* Asia 
* South America

yes, so your one is giving an output like

*Asia
*South America

# can you tailor your code for the output to look like
* Asia 
* South America

Heres what I got:

for continent in continents[0:2]: print( " * "  + continent)

and here is the error:

Bummer: AssertionError: '* Asia' not found in '*Asia\n *South America\n *North America\n *Africa\n *Europe\n *Antarctica\n *Australia' : Hmm...not finding the correct items in your output
