how do i miss index [0] out when i am iterating through (items)?

Hi,

pretty simple question. It could quite possibly just be the fact that i am pretty tired.

cheers

breaks.py 
def loopy(items):
  if items[0] == "a":
    continue
    for i in items:
      print(i)

You have to check if an item starts with the letter "a", you have to do it for every item that's in the iterable "items". So the if statement is going to be inside the for loop scope. You can do it like this:

def loopy(items):
    # Code goes here
    for item in items:       
        if item[0] == "a":
            continue
        print(item)

I hope that helps a little bit
