Hi Anurag,

The problem is that you're printing the item and then check whether you should stop after printing. You want to loop through the items, and if the item is "STOP", break the loop. Try turning it around like this: 

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

I hope that helps

Jonas
