Treehouse TeacherYou are missing a colon and an else statement. Remember every block start must have a colon. Let me show you:
def loopy(items):
for item in items:
if item == "STOP":
break
else:
print(item)

why do i need the else? can't I put the print-statement outside the if so it will run anyway if not "STOP" since then we break?

Treehouse TeacherI believe that in a real life scenario that should work. However, I tried it and it doesn't pass the challenge :( They clearly want an else even if it isn't strictly needed.
