Isn't this code correct? I've tried many times but it doesn't work. I would like it if you gave me the code.
def loopy(items):
# Code goes here
for thing in items:
print(items)
if items == "STOP":
break

First you are looking on a collection but prints this collection instead of the items you get. This is certainty what you want to do.
for item in items:
print(item)
Second, you seem to have a problem here with your if statement that checks if the collection is equal to a value. Which will be false/wrong. And I assume that your want to break your for loop if one of the item in items is equal to "STOP".
Lastly, you try to use break outside of a loop. Which will not work. Your if block must be indented once more.
Something along those lines could do the work:
def loopy(items):
for thing in items:
if thing == "STOP":
break
print(thing)
# Now you're out of your for loop
# code some more.
