I need you to help me finish my loopy function. Inside of the function, I need a for loop that prints each thing in items. Reminder: Check your syntax and indenting! ... this is the task for the code above

The colon is missing in two spots - in line 2 and line 3. This worked for me for the second task.

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