702 PointsHow to print a list of items with only start with a specific letter?
Hi, I need to print continents that only start with 'A' below. I wrote the code below but for some reason treehouse is not accepting that as the correct answer even though the output print Asia, Africa, Antarctica, and Australia. Is my code written incorrectly?
Continents = [ 'Asia', 'South America', 'North America', 'Africa', 'Europe', 'Antarctica', 'Australia', ]
My code here
for continent in continents: if continent.startswith("A"): print (continent)
continents = [
'Asia',
'South America',
'North America',
'Africa',
'Europe',
'Antarctica',
'Australia',
]
for continent in continents:
if continent.startswith("A"):
print (continent)
