This is my latest try:----

def loopy(items):
    # Code goes here
    while True:
        if items['0']=='a':
            continue
        else:
            print(items)

items[0] is the first item in the input list and not the first character of a given item.

Under what condition does the while loop exit?

  • change the while loop to a for loop on item in items:
  • change the if to compare item[0] instead of items[0]

I was trying to do the above but was attempting to use the index function. Was I reading way too much into it? Above I see you just used:

def loopy(items):
    for item in items:
        ***if item['0']=='a':*** <---This line
            continue
        else:
            print(item)

Is this the basic format for finding items as a certain index value?

if item['IndexValue']=='DesiredCharacter'

Tony, indexes into lists should be an integer, not a string.

The form using a string item['key'] is used to look up values in the item dict.
