What did i do wrong here?

Hi Kade,

Please see the code below that I used to pass this challenge:

def loopy(items):
    # Code goes here
    for item in items:
        if item[0] == "a":
            continue
        else:
            print(item)

It looks like you are only missing the else statement.

Hope this helps! Happy Coding!!!

Hi there, Kade! You're doing terrific! Please note that I have some comments regarding the answers you've received thus far. First, you can use continue in any kind of loop or with an if statement. And that's what I used for this challenge. Secondly, you do not need the "negative" or not operator for this. Third, you do not necessarily need an else statement.

The only problem with your code is indentation. You've put the print statement outside the for loop. So item is now out of "scope". The variable item is a temporary variable that only exists while that for loop is executing. Once the for loop completes execution, that variable disappears. So, if I indent your print statement to be inline with the if statement, your code passes with flying colors! Take a look:

def loopy(items):
    for item in items:
        if item[0] == "a":
            continue
        print(item)

Hope this helps, and keep coding!

unless each "item" is an array nothing is going to print out because the index of 0 does not exist.

Also the print() statement isn't in the for loop block so you might also get an error saying the variable does not exist.

Try the negative if item [0] != 'a' Print item

Continue is typically used with a while loop not in an if statement
