Why is this marked wrong when it has the correct output?

This is my code and it gives me the correct output:

for continent in continents: if continent.startswith('A'): print(continent)

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

for continent in continents:
    if continent.startswith('A'):
        print(continent)

A "correct" output should have a "bullet" (asterisk) and space before each name.
This is the same requirement as for task 1.
