I am attempting to understand how scikit learn works for sentiment analysis and 
came across this blog post:

The corresponding code is at this location:

My question is while trying to predict, why does the curr_class in Line 44 of 
the code need a classification (pos or neg) for the test data? After all, am I 
not trying to predict it? Without any initial value of curr_class, the program 
has a run time error.

In order for the 'bot' to classify new samples, by learning the difference between positive and negative samples, it needs to be trained on existing samples that are 'correctly' classified.
