Error message: '* Asia' not found in '* Asia\n*

Hi,

I think I got the result from for loop, I keep getting an error message. Could someone help me with this?

-introducing lists: continental

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

Your code here

for continent in continents: print("* ", continent)

Error message: Bummer: AssertionError: '* Asia' not found in '* Asia\n* South America\n* North America\n* Africa\n* Europe\n* Antarctica\n* Australia' : Hmm...not finding the correct items in your output

continents.py 
continents = [
    'Asia',
    'South America',
    'North America',
    'Africa',
    'Europe',
    'Antarctica',
    'Australia',
]
# Your code here

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

What the error message actually says is:   '* Asia' not found in '*Asia ... :point_left: NOTE: no space in "*Asia"

So it was telling you that you forgot to put a space between the "bullet" and the name.
