def loopy(items): 

    while items == "STOP":#this should be if and not while, that too after the loop only, check my code
        break
    else:
        for a in items:   
             print(a)

loopy("STOP")#you've been not asked to do this

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