Bummer! Try again!

My break isn't working.

breaks.py 
def loopy(items):
    for items in items:
        print(items)
    if items == "STOP":
        break

The main issue with your code is you're using items instead item in numerous locations. Lastly, you should probably put the conditional statement before the print statement.

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