Perhaps a few hints might help:

  • "loopy" is the name of the function, you won't use it inside the function
  • as the name might imply, you will want to create a loop
  • a "for" type loop would help isolate one item at a time
  • when indexing, put the index value inside brackets []
  • nothing in the same block after a "continue" statement will ever be executed
  • be sure to print one item at a time and not all "items"
