Treehouse Project ReviewerYes correct. Do not copy and paste. Write it yourself, You will not learn otherwise.
The working code should produce the following:
def loopy(items):
for item in items:
print(item)
if item == 'STOP':
break
items = ['a', 'b', 'STOP', 'c', 'd']
loopy(items)
a
b
STOP

3,152 PointsFirst off for item in loopy: is wrong. Your objective is to loop through items, loopy is just the name of the function. So the right way to do it is for item in items:.
Second, your last line is not supposed to be there. It is also incorrect. If you wanted to do it that way you would have to do loopy(['milk', 'water']) but don't do that because the instructions don't ask for that.
The way to solve the challenge is to stop printing when the item is 'STOP', so you need to add that logic like:
if item == 'STOP':
break

Treehouse Project Reviewerdef loopy(items):
for item in items:
print(item)
if item == 'STOP':
break
def loopy(items):
for item in items:
print(item)
if item == 'STOP':
break
Your indentation of your condition check is off.

Treehouse Project ReviewerThe second block of code is a copy of yours, except it is slight different. Look very carefully at the differences between the first block and the second block.

5,857 Pointsbwt next time u help someone whit this, I think it easier to code it like this:
def loopy(items):
for item in items:
if item == 'STOP':
break
print(item)

Treehouse Project ReviewerGood job. Putting print after condition will make sure 'STOP' is not printed :) You found it.
