Task is unclear, is the items a list somehow? I want to known the correct solution.

I am unsure what to do here. To print everything in items, items must be a list. Do we also execute the command and give items a list value?

Hi there,

Yes, items holds multiple things; a list or an array. You need to loop through and print each item but stop if you find the string "STOP". Test for that first, then execute the rest of the loop:

loopy.py 
def loopy(items):
    # Code goes here
    for item in items:
      if item == "STOP":
        break
      print(item)

I hope that helps,

Steve.
