I have looked up several different functions on how to sort for "A" and call this properly but I'm falling short. We need to index for "A" then set a function to deliver this. I'm missing something easy
continents = [
'Asia',
'South America',
'North America',
'Africa',
'Europe',
'Antarctica',
'Australia',
]
# Your code here
for con in continents:
con.index("A")
print("* " + con)
