   4.   Jumps to the "top" of the loop and starts the next iteration
3. What does the continue statement do?
   
   1.   Exits the program
   2.   Jumps to the "top" of the loop and starts the next iteration

   4.   Resets the iteration variable to its initial value
4. What does the following Python program print out?
   tot = 0
   for i in [5, 4, 3, 2, 1] :
   tot = tot + 1
   print(tot)

   for the_num in [9, 41, 12, 3, 74, 15] :
   if the_num < smallest_so_far :
   smallest_so_far = the_num
   print(smallest_so_far)
   Hint: This is a trick question and most would say this code has a bug - so read carefully
