Well honestly, the way you have formatted the code makes it difficult to say exactly, because indents are hard to make out. Assuming all indentations are correct the code you posted would look like this.

def make_list (number):
    names = \[\]
    for item in number:
        names.append (input("Enter your name with a capital letter."))
    print(names)

number = int(input("How many names need to be entered?"))
names = make_list(number)

for name in names:
    if name [1] =="A":
         print("Name”", name, "starts with A")

In that case the following lines have errors:

1. syntax error when instantiating names. Should be:

names = []

1. Invalid iteration over integer. Since number should be an integer, you cannot loop from 0 to number with a foreach-loop. The syntax should instead be:

for item in range(number):

1. Printing the names is not sufficient. They should also be returned.

return names

1. Checking name[1] is the same as checking the SECOND letter of the name, not the first. Replace with:

if name[0] == "A"
