What´s wrong with my code?

The 'if' condition is giving me an error, what´s the matter?

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

    if loopy == 'STOP':
        break

Currently, it looks like your if statement is outside the for loop and so the for loop is never actually running the check to see if the value of the current item being iterated over is "STOP". Try nesting your if statement inside the for loop.

Solution: 

def loopy(items):
    # Code goes here
    for item in items:
        if (item == "STOP"):
            break
        print (item)
