Python Introducing Lists Using Lists Continental

I'm having trouble with the second part of this challenge

The code I have written seems to answer what the question is asking for, but when I submit it, it says it is wrong. Could someone please clarify what is wrong with the code I have written? Thanks!

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

for continent in continents:    
    if "A" in continent[0]:
        print(continent)

# almost there, think a little deep

for continent in continents:    
    if "A" in continent[0]: # how do you check a condition for a value of a string, this line is only error
        print(continent)

# if continent[0] == 'A'
