continents = [ 'Asia', 'South America', 'North America', 'Africa', 'Europe', 'Antarctica', 'Australia', ] for i in continents: check=i if check[0]=="A": print(check)
Is this the correct Answers? It should be right because the system says that it cannot find Asia in my output. However, Asia is being outputted
continents = [
'Asia',
'South America',
'North America',
'Africa',
'Europe',
'Antarctica',
'Australia',
]
for i in continents:
check=i
if check[0]=="A":
print(check)

Also keep in mind that the assignment check=i is redundant. You can use i straight away in your code and remove the check all together. Also keep in mind that the variable named i is usually used for numbers/counters, and a more descriptive name would be country. Lastly, you might be interested to know that there is a string method called startswith() that has the same effect as string[0] and is slightly more "readable".
