I forgot that I need to break out of the loop when the current item is the string "STOP". Help me add that code!

I need you to help me finish my loopy function. Inside of the function, I need a for loop that prints each thing in items. I forgot that I need to break out of the loop when the current item is the string "STOP". Help me add that code!

breaks.py 
def loopy(items):
    for item in items:
        print(item)
    # Code goes here
    if item=='STOP':
            break

Hey team,

You have all the code you need; it just needs to be moved around.

Your if statement goes before print; and it needs to be indented so it's run in the context of the loop.
