444 PointsDoing it like this allows every continent with A in it to be displayed. I checked out the Challenge and it seemed to be asking for Continents that had A in them at all, rather than just the beginning.
Your code here
for continent in continents:
if ("A") in continent:
print("* " + continent)
If you wanted code that specifies it to start with the letter A you can use the .startswith instead
Your code here
for continent in continents:
if continent.startswith("A"):
print("* " + continent)
