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

name error: loopy not difined

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

item.lower is never going to equal a word in all caps. you don't need to lower anything. then you need an else after your if to catch elements that are not STOP. you want to print item, not items, which is the whole collection.
