I have problem in solving the question following:

My loopy function needs to skip an item this time, though. Loop through each item in items again. If the character at index 0 of the current item is the letter "a", continue to the next one. Otherwise, #print out the current member. Example: ["abc", "xyz"] will just print "xyz"

breaks.py 
def loopy(items):
    for each_item in item:
        if each_item[0] == 'a'
            continue
        print(each_item)

So close! The for loop iterable item is missing the letter s. Should be items.

Edit: a colon is missing from the end of the if statement.

I added the s , but it still doesn't work.

Also, a colon is missing from the end of the for statement. I've updated my answer above.

I think you mean the if statement, right? I added the colon. It works. Thank you!
