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

Question

Hello guys.
i wrote code as
def loopy(items):
    for item in items:
        if items == "STOP":
            break
        print("item")
but it keep saying didn't find the right itmes being printed.
does my code is wrong? or and missing code?
```breaks.py
def loopy(items):
    for item in items:
        if items == "STOP":
            break
        print("item")
```

Hi Sun,
Your logic looks good, but notice how you are using quotations in your print() function. The way you have it you will simply print out the string "items" every pass of the loop, rather than the actual item in the list. You will need to remove the quotes.
The other thing is check your if statement. Which variable do you want to evaluate as equal to "STOP" -- "item" or "items"?
Hope this helps. Good luck.
