# Remember we can easily do this with min() function
# But the challenge is not to use that, and use for loop
minimum_so_far = None
lst = [9, 41, 12, 3, 74, 15]
for num in lst:
    if minimum_so_far == None:  # This if statement runs only in the first iteration
        minimum_so_far = num
    elif num < minimum_so_far:
        minimum_so_far = num
    print(minimum_so_far, num) # If you want you can skip this print function
print('This is the minimum number:', minimum_so_far)

# Easier way
print(min(lst))
