# Your Code

fruits = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]

for x in fruits:

# In first iteration it's apple then banana and at last it's cherry
if x == "banana":
continue

# Because of no indentation the compiler takes this print statement out of the loop and as the last item was cherry the value of x will the last element i.e. cherry
print(x)

For correct code se AJ's answer.

Indentation problem.

You have to use print statement just below if statement like this

fruits = ["apple", "banana", "cherry"]

for x in fruits:
if x == "banana":
continue
print(x)

As there is no opening and closing curly brackets in Python, indentation is more important. As you were printing value of x outside the loop so whichever last value comes that will be print. That's why the output was "Cherry"

Answer 5

Why it is printing only "cherry".Why not other items

Answer 6

The code works. It doesn't show any error. But why it is printing "Cherry" Only.
That's my doubt
