Keep getting 'didn't find the correct items being printed'

I keep getting the above error message when attempting the break code challenge. Does the code look correct?

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

Your print statement is outside of the for loop, so it only prints once at the end of the loop. Indenting it one stop to printer in the loop. The break should be replaced by continue which say "start the next iteration". break says "stop the loop completely:

def loopy(items):
    # Code goes here
    for item in items:
      if item == "STOP":
        break
      print(item)  # <-- indented

EDIT: You are on the break challenge, not the continue challenge. Put break back in. Thought it was a different challenge.

Thanks Chris. Indented print worked for me.
