how to solve this

for loops are often considered hard to understand at first, but they are actually a pretty simple construct once you wrap your head around them.

The way it works is that it takes a list you provide it, and then it pulls out an item from that list and assigns it to a variable you specified, then it runs your code. Then it takes the next item from the list and assign it to the same variable, then it runs your code again. And it keeps doing this until it has gone though all of the items in the list.

Which means that loops allow you to very easily run a block of code on all of the items in a list.

The structure for a for loop looks like this:

for VARIABLE in LIST:
    # Code to run

Where VARIABLE is the variable that the for loops assigns items to and LIST is the list it takes items from.

So to pass the first task of printing all of the items in the items list you simply need to type this:

def loopy(items):
    for item in items: # Pull items from `items` and assign it to item
        print(item)

Don't forget to put a : (colon) after the for loop declaration, and to indent (horizontally space) the code that follows it. In Python the indentation is used to group your code, so it has to be indented for Python to know that the code belongs to the for loop.

If you struggle with the second task as well then just post a reply asking for help and I'll gladly assist you.

I thought I knew how to break the loop and complete the second task. I feel like something might be wrong with my indenting?
