continents = [

9,875 Pointsyou need to add condition before print (), that check if first letter of the continent == 'A' you can find first letter with index ( sting_name[0] ) or with string slicing ( string_name[:1] )
So you will execute print("* " + continent) only if first letter of the continent == 'A'
