I need help with my BREAK project...

I don't see why the code isnt running. It runs just fine on my normal IDE

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

Hi there! Yes, it would run fine, but it would also have an unwanted result. If we entered "STOP", it would first print stop and then check if it was "STOP". We want to first check if it's "STOP", and then print if it's not.

I feel like you can get it with this clarification, but let me know if you're still stuck! :sparkles:
