Did I write the index wrong?
def loopy(items):
# Code goes here
for item in items:
if index(0) = 'a':
continue
else:
print(item)

16,593 PointsYou have a couple of things going on which are preventing you from passing:
def loopy(items):
# Code goes here
for item in items:
if index(0) = 'a': #<--- 1. Since you single version of the collection is item, you should use item and not index
continue # 2. When you need to access an index of a string/array you use [] instead of (), item[0].
else: # 3. The singular = equals sign is an assignment operator. You want to evaluate the value of the
print(item) # item index by using either == or === for strict checking. I usually default to using ===.
Let me know if that helps you at all. Sometimes these challenges can be tricky if there is more than one problem and the error you get is very vague.
