There are three things to fix here:

  • you need to delete your "items = []" line. This has the effect of setting items equal to an empty list, rather than the list which will be passed in to the function.
  • you need to remove the space between print and (loo).
  • the same line - print(loo) - needs to be indented further so that it is inside the for loop.
