break issue

Hi folks,

Q: 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.

What wrong with my answer ?

def loopy(items):
    for item in items:
        print(item)
    if item == "STOP":
        break

Try this:

def loopy(items):
    for item in items:
        if item == 'STOP':
            break
        print(item)

Hope it helps :)
