I keep getting the following error on the first task on the continents challenge. I think my code is correct. Any ideas?
Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 49, in test_output 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
continents = [
'Asia',
'South America',
'North America',
'Africa',
'Europe',
'Antarctica',
'Australia',
]
for continent in continents:
print("*" + continent)

print("* " + continent) # note space added to string

You might want to report that as a bug to the Support staff!
