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

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. But, if the current thing is the string "STOP", break the loop.
def loopy(items):
for item in items:
if item == "STOP":
break
print(item)

Treehouse Moderator 67,986 PointsCorrect indentation matters:
def loopy(items):
for item in items:
if item == "STOP":
break
print(item)
Chris Freeman
Treehouse Moderator 67,986 PointsYou are very close. You need to move the print statement after the if statement to allow the if to break before the print
def loopy(items):
# Code goes here
for item in items:
if item == "STOP":
break
print(item)
