I'd like you to now only print continents that begin with the letter "A". HINT: Remember that you can access characters in a string by index

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

Before you print out each continent, it wants you to check if the first letter of the continent is "A". I recommend using an if block.

They also gave you a good hint: "HINT: Remember that you can access characters in a string by index".

Let me know if you need more help.
