Oops, I forgot that I need to break out of the loop when the current item is the string "STOP". Help me add that code!

Back. Say's that it is not printing the correct items. Not sure why.

breaks.py 
def loopy(items):
    # Code goes here


    for item in items:
          if item == "STOP":
            break
    print(item)

Hey Garrett, Everything is there, but don't forget what the last line of the instructions told you:

Reminder: Check your syntax and indenting!

Python is very indent dependent, and the indents are a bit off in your code:

  1. The print statement needs to be a part of the if statement.
  2. The if statement and the break are both indented incorrectly.

Once you fix the indenting up, the code is correct and will pass.

Keep Coding! :dizzy: :)
