You don't need to "access 'a' in an array".

You just need to use the continue keyword and not the pass keyword :)

breaks.py 
def loopy(items):
    # Code goes here
    for item in items:
        if item[0] == 'a':
            continue
        print(item)

Good luck! ~alex

P.S.: If you're still curious, you can do:

my_list = ["abc", "xyz"]

# Over here I'm taking the letter "a" from the first element of the list:
my_list[0][0]

Just a note :)
