Quiz: Break the String

Write a loop with a break statement to create a string, news_ticker, that is exactly 140 characters long. You should create the news ticker by adding headlines from the headlines list, inserting a space in between each headline. If necessary, truncate the last headline in the middle so that news_ticker is exactly 140 characters long.

Remember that break works in both for and while loops. Use whichever loop seems most appropriate. Consider adding print statements to your code to help you resolve bugs.
