I am having trouble solving this question can someone please explain me what i should do ? my original code is

def loopy(items):
# Code goes here

def loopy(items):
# Code goes here
for item in items:
if item[0] == "a":
pass
else:
print(item)
Oh, and you can choose first index only with these brackets and number inside [0], but it should work with your way too.

18,126 PointsI checked it out and you have to use CONTINUE in this case, because PASS doesn't do nothing, it just checks the first item's index and goes on to else, while continue makes that loop go through all items and checks if their first letter is "a".
I think that this challenge shouldn't work with pass, maybe Kenneth forgot to turn off this option :D .
Here is a little bit deeper explanation:
And code with continue
def loopy(items):
# Code goes here
for item in items:
if item[0] == "a":
continue
else:
print(item)

12,328 PointsHey thanks for the help. I found it a bit hard to understand the difference between pass and continue cause i tested it out and it gives back the same results. What i understood is that continue only works in a for or while loop, and pass works in a more general purpose. If you could provide me some examples would be great.
