having trouble with loopy

i keep getting a bummer and cannot figure out what I am doing wrong.

Help is greatly appreciated.

breaks.py 
def loopy(items):
    for item in items:
        if item == "STOP":
            break
    else:
        print(items)

Hi Johanna,

I think this is pretty close, but it looks like you're trying to print the entire "items" list in the else clause, rather than an individual item. Try this:

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

(indentation might be strange - apologies if it is.)

edit: Also think you might have an issue with the indent on your "else" too.
