Not sure why for in loop is producing an assertion error

My output looks like what the question is asking but I'm getting an assertion error. Please help.

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