I am at a standstill def loopy(items): # Code goes here skip an item ... but why would it skip "b" "c"

def loopy(items): # Code goes here

skip an item ... but why would it skip "b" "c" in the instruction have nothing to do with bc.

Here they are

y loopy function needs to skip an item this time, though. Loop through each item in items again. If the character at index 0 of the current item is the letter "a", continue to the next one. Otherwise, print out the current member. Example: ["abc", "xyz"] will just print "xyz".

Which module aludes to this ...//

iI would think that it would print "bcxyz"

not just xyz ???

Not understanding this one HELP !!

breaks.py 
def loopy(items):
    # Code goes here

You might see "bc" if you were modifying the first item, but the instructions say to skip any item that meets the crteria entirely. So since "abc" starts with "a", it will be skipped and no part of it will be printed.
