do you guys have any idea on what "for" syntax code should look like in order to solve this problem?

I'm having difficulty in understanding this topic. The example before is using 'while', and now they want me to create the same code output using 'for'.

breaks.py 
def loopy(items):
    for items in items:
        new_items = input("> ")
        items.append(new_items)


    if new_items == "STOP":
        break

    # Code goes here

gibran, try this:

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