how do you print only the continents with first letter "A"?

I have no idea what to do after print("Continents:") for continent in continents: print("* " + continent)

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

You can use an if statement after the loop to check if the first letter of the continent matches "A". You can use indexing to only check the first letter: continent[index].
