My solution works, why am I wrong?

What is wrong with my code?

continents.py 
continents = [
    'Asia',
    'South America',
    'North America',
    'Africa',
    'Europe',
    'Antarctica',
    'Australia',
]
# Your code here
for continent in continents:
    if str(continent[0]) == "A":
        print(continent)

Also, you don't need the "str" since "continent" is already a string,
