Breaking a for loop in a function.

The instructions are to break the loop at the string stop and I cannot figure out what I am doing wrong please help.

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

Hi Kyle,

You've almost got it! :thumbsup: The only thing is you are printing the array (items) instead of the item in the array at the current iteration (item).
Fix that up and everything else looks good!

Keep Coding! :dizzy: )
