Loopy function on code challenge won't work, can't break.

def loopy(items): for word in items: print(word) if word == "STOP": break

I've tried replacing word with items and moving the if statement
to the same indentation as for.

Hi, I can't see what you did there, you should post your code to see exactly what was wrong but from the example you wrote I think your problem is that you put the if statement after print word. it should be for word in items: if word == 'STOP': break, else: print (word). this way it first checks if the word is 'stop' and breaks if it is, otherwise it prints the word. if you put print before if it will print no matter what. Also you should uppercase the word just in case user uses lowercase so it would be if word.uppercase () == 'STOP'

Hope this helps :)
