Question

what is wrong with this code?
def loopy(items):
    while True:
        item = input("> ")
        if item == 'STOP':
        break 
    for item in items:
        print(item)
```breaks.py
def loopy(items):
    while True:
        item = input("> ")
        if item == 'STOP':
        break 
    for item in items:
        print(item)
```

Hi Daniel,
I am not sure why you are using a while loop for this challenge when all you need to use is a "for in" loop with an if conditional statement inside the loop to check each item if they equal "STOP". If they do, we break out of the loop. Here is the code I used to pass this challenge:
```python
def loopy(items):
    # Code goes here
    for item in items:
        if item == "STOP":
            break
        print(item)
```
Hope this helps! Happy Coding!!!
