Can you verify what's gone wrong?

I can't see where I'm going wrong with my code. I've worked through a number of times and I'm worried I'm missing something fundamental. I have checked, re-written and checked the code again and I can't find where I'm going!

Any help would be appreciated!

breaks.py 
def loopy(items):
    # Code goes here
    for thing in items:
        if thing == "STOP":
            break
        else
            print(thing)

Hi Sean,

You're very close.

Your conditional statement is just missing a : on your else statement.

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

Perfect, thanks! I know it would probably be something simple I had completed glossed over! Thanks for your help!
