Not clear on instructions index of loop iterated item?

Question

Not clear on what this instruction means?
"If the current item's index 0 is the letter "a", continue to the next one. "
or where I am going wrong? Here is my failing code:
def loopy(items):
    # Code goes here
    for stuff in items:
        if stuff in [0] == "a":
        continue
    print(stuff)
TIA
Dwayne
```breaks.py
def loopy(items):
    # Code goes here
    for stuff in items:
        if stuff[0] == "a":
        continue
    print(stuff)
```

The code you have written is correct, but the indentation is wrong, and indentation is essential to get right when you are programming in Python.
The print statement should be indented to be inside of the for statement, and the continue keyword should be inside of the if statement, like this:
python
def loopy(items):
    # Code goes here
    for stuff in items:
        if stuff[0] == "a":
            continue
        print(stuff)
