how do I properly use the break function to end this loop?
def loopy(items):
for item in items:
print (item)
if item == "STOP":
break

35,170 Points- Delete the new_item = input line, you don't need an input for this one
- Set the variable names in the "if" and "print" statements back to "item" again

Courses Plus Student 3,305 PointsGOT IT !!! thanks for the help. Is that actually as tricky as it seems or was I just not paying attention?
Ben Reynolds
35,170 PointsHaha believe me, one day you will look back on this one and go "how did i not see it??" Try not to facepalm as hard as I did :)
It gets easier, but there's no secret trick to it. Just gotta practice practice practice and over time it starts to stick.

Courses Plus Student 3,305 PointsI'm still having trouble with completing this. I thought I understood your suggestion but it isn't translating for me.
