You can use break to get out of a loop. Your code also has some other errors, which I've fixedd. Try this:

full_name = input ('Enter a customers name (or q to quit): ')
if full_name == 'q':
  exit()
address = input ("Enter the customer's address: ")
location = input("Enter customer's city, state, and zip code: " )

text = ''
while text.lower() != 'q':
  thin_M = int(input('Enter the number of Thin Mints: '))
  if thin_M > 10:
    print ('Sorry we are accepting a maximum of 10 boxes per type.')
  else:
    break  

A for loop ends when it exhausts its iterable, and a while loop terminates when its condition is no longer met. If you were going to write while True: if some_variable == "some value": break #do stuff then instead you could write: while some_variable != "some value": #do stuff

You have to use indentation to represent something is for something else: python for x in range(10): # all code indented are in the for loop print("This is *in* the for loop!") print("So as this!") print("This is OUTSIDE of the for loop because it isn't indented.") This is just a simple example, but it can get more complicated: ```python for x in range(10): # This is in the loop print("We are currently on the number {}!".format(x)) if x == 5: # This is in the if statenent which is in the loop print("Cool! 5!") if x % 2 == 0: # This is in a different if statement but still in the loop print("Alright! {} is an even number!".format(x)) # This is in the for loop but not in a if statement print("Next number coming up... {}!".format(x+1)) This code isn't in any kind of block print("Finished!") ``` This is why Python is so picky about indentation. If you forgot to indent like this: python for x in range(5): if x == 5: break Python will cause an Syntax Error because it thought you put nothing in the if statement and there has to be something. Python also will think that the break command is part of the loop, but we really don't mean that. Keep in mind that you have to be very careful indenting when you are a beginner! You get used to it when you get more advanced :) I hope this helps. ~Alex
