Treehouse TeacherHi there! You're doing great, but you have an extra print statement. During your loop, you print the item then ask if it was equal to "STOP". This means that it will have also printed STOP as well. If it was STOP, it will be the last thing that was printed. However, if it wasn't equal to "STOP" that item will also be printed again.
The solution is to remove the print
statement at the very top of the loop. You should only print if the item wasn't equal to "STOP".
Hope this helps!
