I think error is in "if things = "STOP": try: if things == "STOP":

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

This is the correct code for all the tasks. The first problem that I see is you are printing things before you check is it "STOP". The spacing is also wrong as well. Remember the spacing is using logic for the computer to read what the code is trying to do. Also Reminder in a function the order is how its read.
