NameError: name 'loopy' is not defined

def loopy(items):
    for item in items:
        if item.lower() == "STOP":
            break

        print(item)

Works perfectly in Pycharm. I don't understand the error-message.

Ein frohes Weihnachtsfest

For some reason treehouse killed my code. I hope it looks better in the comment section:

def loopy(items): for item in items: if item.lower() == "STOP": break

    print(item)

You are very close. The issue is

        if item.lower() == "STOP":

will never be True. Try using item.upper()
