Using code that generates the correct answer in a local system creates an unfixable AsssertionError that's incorrect

this code: for word in continents: if word[0] == 'A': print (word) generates the error claim Whoops! I found a country that didn't start with A in your output

Make sure you are printing out the asterisk and space first!

continents = ['Asia', 'South America', 'North America', 'Africa', 'Europe', 'Antarctica', 'Australia']
# Your code here

for word in continents:
    if word[0] == 'A':
        print("* " + word)
