Hi Tpc,

What did you expect to happen when we hit the continue statement?  It'll
help to know what you wanted to happen, so that we can better understand
the problem.


According to:

    http://www.python.org/doc/ref/continue.html

'continue' is only effective if we're in a loop, so the error message is
perfectly true.  So I think we need to know more about what you are trying
to do.


Best of wishes!
