Program working fine in workspace but not in exercise (task)

def loopy(items): # Code goes here for m in items: if m.index("a") == int(0): continue else: print (m)

breaks.py 
def loopy(items):
    # Code goes here
    for m in items:
        if m.index('a') == 0:
            continue
        else:
             print (m)

You're close, but it looks like you sort of flip-flopped the concept. Here's a few hints:

  • you don't want to test if the index of 'a' is 0.
  • you do want to test if the letter at index 0 is 'a'
  • remember that indexing is done with brackets []

I'll bet you can get it now.
