Hi Jessica!

You have two errors in your code.

First of all you want to delete the print statement after you declare the for loop.

Then, you need to change your if statement. First of all, the i.index() method is used to get the index of an item of a list. For example:

for i in items:
    if i == i.index(0): #This line is basically saying: if the item in the list is is equal to the part of the item's index. It is looking 
                                # for a part of the item that that is 0. Not the index 0. To look for the index 0, you do it like this: i[0]
        continue
    else:
        print(i)

Finally you need to delete the" i == "part of the if statement and ask if that is "a". Like so:

def loopy(items):
    for i in items:
        if i[0] == "a": # it should look like this now
            continue
        else:
            print(i)

The end result of the code should look like this:

def loopy(items):
    for i in items:
        if i[0] == "a":
            continue
        else:
            print(i)

I hope this worked for you!

If this does not, please let me know.

Thanks!
