Question:
Oops, I forgot that I need to break out of the loop when the current item is the string "STOP". Help me add that code!
what's wrong with my break? I keep facing the error
def loopy(items):
# Code goes here
# list
loopy_item_list = []
#add something on the list
loopy_item_list.append(items)
#show the list
for item in loopy_item_list:
print(item)
if items == "STOP":
break
loopy("Things")

items is already a list, so you are creating a list inside a list.
You need to check for STOP inside your for loop, against the current item, before it prints.
def loopy(items):
#show the list
for item in items:
if item == "STOP":
break
print(item)
