For the test code to be considered in the loop, it must be indented further in than the loop itself.

Also, to stop the loop before printing the word "STOP", the test and break need to come before the "print" statement.

def loopy(items): for item in (items): print (item) //now, you have to check for item == 'STOP', before printing it, be careful with indentation. # Code goes here if item=='STOP': break
