I'm getting the right output but guessing its the not way they want. I guess they want me to use the continent[0,3,5,6] but not sure how to get a whole item from a list added and not just the first letter of the string.
continents = [
'Asia',
'South America',
'North America',
'Africa',
'Europe',
'Antarctica',
'Australia',
]
for continent in continents:
if continent[0] == "A":
print("*" + continent)

4,885 PointsIf you want to remove an item from one list and put it in the other you can use pop.
separate = [continents.pop(0), continents.pop(2)]
Notice that I did 2 and not 3 on the second one. This is because it iterates through each one after each other. After I've poped out Asia, Africa would then take it's place in the index of 2.
More information on pop and other data structures: https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/datastructures.html

1,357 PointsI just passed it. it wanted to see the space after the * and before the " to make the output not looked squished.
Thanks
If someone can give me the right procedure to pull an item from the list that would be great. for example: I wanted to list Asia and Africa, what would I use because using print(continents[0,3] will just output the first and 4th letter from every item.
