2nd challenge objective

Hello guys am currently in the 2nd objective of this challenge. Am asking why can't this let me pass even though that i got the answer right. Here's my code

continents[
"Asia",
"South America",
"North America",
"Africa".
"Europe",
"Antartica",
"Australia"
#Your code here
       for continent in continents:
           if continents[0] == "A":
                print(continent)
]

What am trying to say that in the terminal it'll print out the continents that has "A" as the first letter. But why isn't this working?.

Part of it's probably a typo. You wrote "continents[0]" (plural) instead of "continent[0]" (singular).

But also it looks like the comment, along with your code, got moved inside the list, but it should come after it. And the indentation will also need adjusting once it's in the right place.

Oh, and the instructions also want you to include an asterisk ("bullet") before each name.
