I used the index method but I can't determine what's wrong with my code.
def loopy(items):
# Code goes here
for item in items:
if item.index(0) = "a":
continue
elif print(item)

Instead use the "slice" syntax. Also, the compare needs double-equal sign. And "elif" should be "else"
def loopy(items):
# Code goes here
for item in items:
if item[0] == "a":
continue
else:
print(item)
