Need help with breaking and loops.

This is what it is asking me to do.

Oops, I forgot that I need to break out of the loop when the current item is the string "STOP". Help me add that code!

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