What am I doing wrong here? I can't see what's incorrect.

I've tried building this with and without an else statement, but neither seem to work.

breaks.py 
def loopy(items):
    for item in items:
        if item == "STOP":
            break
        print(item)

Are you trying to make this work on Step 1 of the coding challenge?

It should work for Step 2, but in Step 1 you do not need the if and break.

I did test your code on Step 2 and it works fine.

I see what I did! My spacing was off in Challenge 1. Thank you!

Yeah, about the only thing I dislike about Python, spacing gets you into trouble quite often.
