# Copyright 2023, Gurobi Optimization, LLC

# This example reads an LP model from a file and solves it.
# If the model can be solved, then it finds the smallest positive variable,
# sets its upper bound to zero, and resultolves the model two ways:
# first with an advanced start, then without an advanced start
# (i.e. 'from scratch').
