For loop with items list

I feel like there is something im missing, the question asked for a for loop, I provided the for by assigning it to item, I tried to creak a logic to stop if "Done" and I gave it an else loop as well. Is there something im missing? Thank you!

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

you are missing the colon at the end of your if statement, and also it says the loop should break on the word STOP, not Done. change done to stop and add the colon and it will pass.

So I changed Done to STOP, but I am unsure what you mean by adding a colon at the end of my statement, I don't see anywhere a colon can be added :/
