Hi Michael,

Your code is going to print "STOP" but the challenge only wants you to print the items.

If you reverse the if and print statements then it won't print "STOP" because it will break before reaching the print statement.

Make sure when you reverse them that the print is not indented to the same level as the break. Otherwise, it becomes part of the if and it's unreachable.
