Couple of nudges here to get you going in the right direction:

  1. You are using elif when you have no if before it.
  2. Your code indentation isn't quite right where you are using that elif

Hey Uba,

You referred to items instead of item a couple of times. To help you along conceptually, this is the answer they're looking for.

-elif only works if there is a preceding if statement. Here's an example:

if item == 'STOP':
    break
elif item =='CONTINUE':
    continue
else:
    #Do this other thing

def loopy(items): 
    for item in items:
        if item == 'STOP':
            break
        print(item)
