I am getting hung up on this code challenge. Where am I going wrong?

def loopy(items): for item in loopy: print(thing)

I get a Bummer and "'function' object is not iterable"

Please help.

Thanks, Keith

the last line reads: print(item) not print(thing)

Still, the code does not work.

You are attempting to iterate over the defined function called loopy which is not iterable. You should use the passed in argument (items) instead of loopy.

for item in items:
   (whatever needs to be done)
