Python Introducing Lists Using Lists Continental

Should have worked...

continents = [ 'Asia', 'South America', 'North America', 'Africa', 'Europe', 'Antarctica', 'Australia', ]

Your code here

for x in continents: print("*" + x)

The output was:

*Asia *South America *North America *Africa *Europe *Antarctica *Australia

which was the goal of the exercise. The variable I chose was "x" because it was easier, so am I discounted because I used a variable of my choice?

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

for x in continents: for x in continents: if x.startswith("A"): print("* " + x)

Nevermind, I figured it out. They wanted a space in between the star and the continent.
