Nope. The loop counter will be assigned successively through the list of 
integers produced by range(10). Inside the loop, if you change j, then 
from that point on for that pass through the body, j will have that 
value. But such an action will not change the fact that next pass 
through the loop, j will be assigned the next value in the list.
