Hey there,

Actually, the indentation for break is correct. The problem lies with the indentation for the print statement in the else clause. It needs to be indented to be part of the else.

Also, there is one other issue. For the if clause, you need to check for "STOP" against the iteration (thing), not the original parameter passed in.

Fix those 2 things, and you are good to go! :)

Keep Coding! :dizzy:
