The "print" function adds a space between separate arguments, so you don't need to include a space with the asterisk.

You would need the space if you were combining the strings into a single argument using concatenation.

Just for fun, my personal favorite method is using an "f-string":

    print(f"* {continent}")

I needed to take out the comma and add the + concatenation

Python f-strings are covered in one of the courses (not sure which one offhand), but you can also find them in this online documentation.
