Hi Levi! You're pretty close here so I'm going to give a couple of hints. I feel like this will be a better overall learning experience for you instead of just giving the answer.

  • Currently, if I send in "STOP", your code will first print out "STOP" then check to see if it was "STOP"
  • Your indentation is a bit off
  • Check first to see if the item is "STOP"
  • If the item is "STOP" break
  • Otherwise print the item

Good luck, but let me know if you're still stuck! :sparkles:

You are certainly entitled to your opinion. However, I'd point out that the challenge you linked to had a different set of difficulties as they were failing on step 1... not step 2. I, much like yourself, am doing my best to help out fellow students.

Jennifer Nordell I just want to make sure that you know that the answer I was referring to in the link I posted here was also from you. The joke I failed to make was that it was you vs you. I did not mean any offense at all, I absolutely LOVE the answers you gave here and there for task 1 and task 2. I hope to one day help other students in such a detailed and beautifully written way as you do. I have a lonnnggg way to go.
