for continent in continents:
print("* " + continent) # no index needed

231,271 PointsOh, that explains the "A". Inside your loop, you could add an "if" statement to control when to execute the "print". Your "if" statement can compare the first letter of the continent name to the letter "A" using an equality comparison ("
==").The index will be useful in the "if" to get a single letter from the string, and the value 0 (zero) would select the first one.
