Code Challenge - continue statement help

This is from the 'Python Basics' and I can't figure out what I'm missing regarding my code.

Loop through every item in items. If the current item's index 0 is the letter "a", continue to the next one. Otherwise, print out the current member.

breaks.py
def loopy(items):
    # Code goes here
    for item in items:
        if item[0] == 'a':
            continue
    else:
        print(item)

Hi! You just have an indentation problem. Your else statement should be indented to line up with your if. Indent the last two lines properly and your code passes. Hope this helps! :sparkles:
