[FIXED] Using Spyder IDE: SyntaxError: 'continue' not properly in loop

Issue

I downloaded Sypder and I keep getting the error below when I run the script in the interpreter.

>>> continue
  File "<stdin>", line 1
SyntaxError: 'continue' not properly in loop

This happens even on a simple hello world script:

print('hello world!')

Solution

The button I was clicking was the 'continue' button. It looks like a play button like in MATLAB. The actual run button is the green circle, just in case anybody runs into this silly little mistake as well. Thanks for the response Prahaland.
