what's wrong with my loop, and break statement?

is my indentation incorrect?

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

Works for me, but I think you're SUPPOSED to have indentations in multiples of 4:

def loopy(items):
    for item in items:
        print (item)
        if item == "STOP":
            break

Hey Phillip, it's not necessary to keep the indentations in multiples of four. It's just a common practice. You just have to keep the same indentation for a code block.

Hey, your indentation is fine. The problem is that you are calling to print the items in your code instead of item
