I cannot figure out why this code is not passing here for task two.

I checked this code in VS Code Editor and it worked fine I also tried the following solution as well just for fun and it still didn't pass: for continent in continents: if continent[0] == 'A': print(continent)

Again this workd in VS Code but not in the challenge

continents.py 
continents = ['Asia', 'South America', 'North America', 'Africa', 'Europe', 'Antarctica', 'Australia']
# Your code here
for continent in continents:
    print('* ' + continent)

for continent in continents:
    if 'A' in continent[0]:
        print(continent)

The challenge wants you to change the program to print out just certain items. It's not expecting to see the whole list and the filtered list.

Also, be sure you're still using the same format for the output to create a "bulleted" list.
