What causes this error?

Hello, when I try to run this code I receive an error message stating that the right things are not being printed. What is the root of this issue?

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

You need to do the test and break before the print, otherwise the word "STOP" will be printed along with the other items.
