Help with lists and For Loops

Hello,

The feedback from this code reads "Didn't find the right items printed"

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Any help would be great!

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

its because you make items an empty array when you do items = []. Just remove that and you should be golden

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

remove items = [] .

You're making your variable empty and than trying to search in it.

Thank you both! It worked great.
