I don't understand EOF when reading line?

OK I might have gotten the indention wrong. If I did please tell me. Other than that it looked OK to me. It says EOF when reading line. What's wrong with my code?

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

:point_right: The EOF occurs because the challenge does not provide any input.

The items are passed to the function as an argument, so you won't need to input anything. Also, when creating your loop, be sure specify the argument as the iterator instead of the function name. You might need a new variable name to represent the individual item.

Finally, you'll need to test for "STOP" before you print, unless you want it to be one of the things printed.
