Please explain why: def loopy(items): for i in items: print i is not correct

The loop itself is fine, the issue is the print line.

In python 3 which is what is thought and used at Treehouse print is a function, which means that you have to call it and pass values by using parenthesis like this:

print("Thing you want to print")

You can't just type print and then the value seperated by a space, that is valid syntax only in Python 2 due to the fact that print was considered a statement rather than a function in that version of Python.

So to summarize, your code is valid in Python 2, but not Python 3. If you add the parenthesis needed to your code like this:

def loopy(items):
    for i in items:
        print(i)

Then you'll pass the first task.

Hey Juan,

print is a python method and therefore requires () with the argument passed inside. So, instead of

print i

You need to have

print(i)

Keep Coding!

Great Many thanks!!
