The Challenge says try again and i don't know what's wrong with my code

I have written this code in this challenge but the only error i get is try again. can someone please tell me what's wrong with it and why won't it pass?

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

The reason your code isn't working is because your break is not inside the loop itself, so your code never breaks out of the loop.

Also remove your first line: item = items, think about what you just told that line to do, and then what you think it will do with your code.

Thanks for your response i did that and now it says the right items aren't being printed the code is now like this:

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