a. error, 5 isn't a sequence so we can't iterate over it in a for loop
b. error, result is initialized as a string, so we can't add numbers to it
c. 'aabbccdd'

e. 'applesapplesbananasbananas'

def my_max(numbers):
    max = numbers[0]

    for num in numbers:
        if num > max:
            max = num

    return max

They only difference here is what we initialize max to.  In the version in class, since we knew they
were positive, we could pick -1 since we knew that would be smaller than any of the numbers in the list.
Here, we picked the first element in the list to get things started.  If it's the max, then max will
stay at that value.  If it's not the max, then as we iterate through the list some other element will
replace it eventually and we'll get the correct answer.
