You don't need actual bullet characters, if you look at the example you'll see they just use asterisks.

But your code does have a few other issues:

  • the loop variable name should be different from the list name
  • a "for" statement needs a colon : at the end
  • the loop body needs to be indented
  • strings need to be enclosed in quotes
  • combining strings is done with the + operator
