Hello! I am trying to follow the challenge step by step and now lost.
Can you please help and explain so I can easily digest the resolution?
Thanks!
def loopy(items):
# Code goes here
for item in items:
if 0 == 'a':
continue
else:
print(item)

- 1: What is the thing you want the 0 index of.
- 2: How will you access it.

16,594 PointsThat's cool, I didn't think about leaving out the else clause, but that worked just fine :D

if 0 == 'a':
That will never be true, right? What you want to do is use item to access the character at index 0.
You are close.
