Not sure where I went wrong

I placed this same code in my pycharm and it works fine.

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

Hie Chriss your code looks just fine..but you dont need the fisrt print statement.. tho it has a typo...remove the whole first print line and edit the second print statement. just remove the + and use a comma passed it with this code

for continent in continents: print("*", continent)

The output just needs a space to separate the "bullet" from the name. You can print them as separate arguments as Terrance suggested, or you could just add a space as part of the string:

    print("* " + continent)
