I need you to help me finish my loopy function. Inside of the function, I need a for loop that prints each thing in items.
def loopy(items):
# Code goes here
for items in loopy:
print(loopy)

The issue in your code is that you're trying to iterate through the function itself, not the iterable passed as an argument. You also miss indentation within your function.
Use the loop, to iterate through the data you input into the function - items.
Hope that helps. If you need more help, please reply and I will try to answer in more detail.
Happy coding!

Items in the for loop is the variable that is being iterated. Each element of that variable is put into item, and then printed. then the next element in items will be placed into item. This will run until it reaches the end the the items

If you're going to post code, be sure to provide a thorough explanation about how your code works and why it's the right code for the job. I've redacted the code in your answer accordingly. If you'd like, feel free to post a modified version of your code again that doesn't pass the challenge with a copy/paste. Great job explaining it in your answer, though! Happy coding!
