What is wrong with my script?

I don't know what's wrong with it. I've tried changing it in different ways but it won't accept the script! How do I break out the loop?

breaks.py 
def loopy(items):
    for item in items:
        print(item)
        if item == "STOP":
            break

Hi,

You're correct but your don't want to print STOP, just break out of the loop. So do that if test first, break out of the loop if item is STOP, or carry on and print item.

I hope that helps,

Steve.
