not sure what I'm missing

I've added the for loop and called the function to finish it..... I'm not sure if i need to input any items somewhere - doesn't work in the parenthesis at the end calling the function? or to create an input?

help :)

breaks.py 
def loopy(items):
    for items in loopy:
        print(items)

loppy()

Your first mistake is you are trying to use the function name for your iteration which is loopy. You need to make it in a way such that the function can iterate all the items in there, when its called so you should do it like: "for i in items". Then it should work.

Answer for both the first and the second task:

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

Try formatting your code so the spacing shows up (in Python, indentation is everything).
Use the instructions for code formatting in the Markdown Cheatsheet pop-up below the "Add an Answer" area. :arrow_heading_down:
Or watch this video on code formatting.
