why it doesn't work ?

i did all the tasks, or maybe i am wrong , thanks!

I need you to help me finish my loopy function. Inside of the function, I need a for loop that prints each thing in items. But, if the current thing is the string "STOP", break the loop.

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

Your code is mostly correct but the order is wrong, the if and break statements has to be placed before the print statement since the function is meant to stop as soon as it gets to the STOP item.

With the current order of your code the function will print "STOP" before it stops.
