I need you to help me finish my loopy function. Inside of the function, I need a for loop that prints each thing in item

Can someone tell me where I'm wrong, please? Thank you.

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

The error is here - print(items).

Remember your counter variable is item, so you should use item in the print function.
