I'd like you to now only print continents that begin with the letter "A"

Am I supposed to iterate through the list to access the continents that begin with "A".

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

print(continents[0], continents[3], continents[5],continents[6])

Hint: you can check if a continent begins with an “A” using

if continent[0] == ‘A’:

Post back if you need more help. Good luck!!!
