1,460 Pointsstring indexing
I do not understand what I am missing here, indexing seems to be counted correctly but I keep getting a traceback of string index out of range.
continents = [
'Asia',
'South America',
'North America',
'Africa',
'Europe',
'Antarctica',
'Australia',
]
# Your code here
for continent in continents:
print("* " + continent[0])
print("* " + continent[3])
print("* " + continent[5])
print("* " + continent[6])

231,198 PointsThe "continent" variable represents the current name. Not all names have 7 or more characters.
You only need the same print statement you used for task 1. Just add an "if" to control when it happens, and have it test the first character (index 0) to see if it is "A".
