I need help! Can someone help me please?

It says to try again. I feel like I got it right though

breaks.py 
def loopy(items):
    for i in items:
        if i == 'STOP'
            break
        else
            print(i)

Hi Kevin Selagea

You are really close! It is a Syntax Error

HINT: you are missing colons(:) in two spots.

NOTE: You wont be able to submit the if/else for part 1, only part 2. So only code what its asking for in each part.

Very close

def loopy(items):
    for i in items:
        if i == 'STOP':  # you forgot a colon here
            break
        print(i)  # remove the else statement

Thank you both! I didn't see that I had syntax errors!
