I can do the first part of this just fine but I have tried several different ways to do the second part where you add the break code and I cannot get it to work. I am very new to coding so I am likely just not doing something simple. If I can at least get a hint that would be great.

def loopy(items):
# Code goes here
for item in items:
if item == "STOP":
break
else:
print(item)
hope it works

break;
print (i);
I can see where its going wrong for you. '==' is equality testing whereas 'is' is identity testing. In question they had mentioned, 'STOP' is a string.
