Python Indentation

Indentation refers to the spaces at the beginning of a code line. Where in other languages the indentation in code is for readability only, in Python the indentation is very important.

Python uses indentation to indicate a block of code.

Note

Python will give you an error if you skip the indentation.

Note

The number of spaces is up to you, but it must be at least one, and be consistent.
