Guys, could someone kindly provide the solution to the problem of only printing elements starting with "A" in the list?

I have tried looking in the videos, but am not having success. Tried to find some code online, but none of them that used indexing to solve the problem.... Guidance will be much appreciated. Thanks!

continents.py 
continents = [
    'Asia',
    'South America',
    'North America',
    'Africa',
    'Europe',
    'Antarctica',
    'Australia',
]
# Your code here
for country in continents:
    print ("* {}".format(country))

continents.remove('South America')
continents.remove('North America')
continents.remove('Europe')

for country in continents:
    print ("* {}".format(country))

if you are just trying to print the continents starting with 'A', try something like this:

for i in continents: if i[0] == 'A': print i
