breaking a for loop with an "if"condition

I don' really understand what is wrong.

Thanks!

You need to break before you print the item, and you need to correct your indentation. Fix those and you should be good to go.

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