I just answered your other question. It looks like you got past task 1 now.

For task 2 you will need to add a conditional statement ("if") before the print, to control when the print runs. The condition should test if the the first letter of the name is an "A". You can access individual letters by indexing (with []'s), and the first index is always 0.
