object is similar to a list in that you may access each letter as if it were an item in a list. So the first letter of a string is at index 0. This would be written as string[0]
.
Next, add a filter to eliminate continents not beginning with “A” (an if
statement may help here).
Post back if you need more help. Good luck!!!
