Please define the alignment rules of clearly.

i can pass the test with giving some spaces.. and fail it with lacking of spaces..

please compare the language with swift 2.0 to give examples of defining the alignment requirements .

Best Regards

So Python uses indentation for a block instead of curly brackets as Swift does.

Lines 4-7 are all inside of you're 'for' loop block, so they all need to be indented to the right. Then, the 'break' statement in the if block on line 5 needs to be intended again and so does 'print' inside the else block on line 7. Everywhere that Swift would have had a set of curly brackets, Python needs to indent.

def loopy(items):
    # Code goes here
    for abc in items: 
        if abc == "STOP":
            break
        else: 
            print(abc)
