Question

hey guys as far as I can tell this works - am running it in the python interpreter on my computer it is runs fine. Any ideas?
def loopy(items):
    # Code goes here
    for item in items:
        if item[0] == "a":
            continue
        else:
            print item
```breaks.py
def loopy(items):
    # Code goes here
    for item in items:
        if item[0] == "a":
            continue
        else:
            print item
```

This code will run just fine in Python 2, but Treehouse teaches and uses Python 3. In earlier versions of Python, print was a keyword, but in Python 3 and newer, print is a function, and requires parentheses around its arguments to call it properly, like this:
python
print("Welcome to Python 3!")

You should probably update Python on your computer with one of the downloads from the official CPython downloads page (https://www.python.org/downloads/)

Hiya Adam! You're very close and i think your code is right on money but the only thing thats preventing you to proceed , are parenthesis "()". Wrap your "item" alias around parenthesis on last line of your code. Do that ad you're good to go. (:
