what is wrong with my code?

I was able to finish the first task. But I am currently stuck on the second task which asks, "I'd like you to now only print continents that begin with the letter "A"."

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

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

You code works fine but only thing is you do not need to create another function for second part of the challenge.

Remove the below lines from your second challenge and it will work.

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