Continental task bug?

This is less of a question and more of me maybe pointing out a bug or something that wasn't accounted for in the first part of the task but it seems like using a comma to print out the result isn't accepted as a valid answer when it outputs the correct answer. It looks like it only accepts the add operator. 

continents = [
    'Asia',
    'South America',
    'North America',
    'Africa',
    'Europe',
    'Antarctica',
    'Australia',
]
# Your code here
for continent in continents:
    print("* ", continent)

The comma will also work, but in that case the system puts a space between the arguments so you don't need one in the string with the asterisk (and having it there causes too much space).

Oh duh! It's the extra space. That makes sense-- thank you!
