continents

confused! When testing this code: ( before doing "Check Work )

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

I am getting the desired results,.. *Asia *South America ..and so on,...no errors...

then when I check the work : 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

thanks

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

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

One minor issue: There should be a space between the bullet and the continent

This:

print("*" + continent)

should be:

print("* " + continent)

notice the space here:

"* "
