Help Please

Hi, I don't get what I'm doing wrong. Please help. Thank you.

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

You don't need an elif in there, use else: instead

Actually you don't need an else clause at all

You could do this:

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