jeez I don't understand this issue of indentation. I noticed that the instructions or methods that run within or outside a conditional are looped in a certain way. the way print() is indented affects what will be printed. pls who has any insight on this frustrating stuff

condition a: stuff that happens for condition a - first word is aligned to the right of the first word of condition a also stuff that happens for condition a - first word is aligned to the right of the first word of condition a still stuff that happens for condition a - first word is aligned to the right of the first word of condition a no longer stuff for condition a, but for the next part of the program - first word lines up with first word of condition a another bit of the program condition b: stuff that happens for condition b - first word aligned to right of first word of condition b

I mean that indentations vary through out a list of codes. I don't understand how to indent correctly

Indents are spaces if you use any tab it won't recognize it and will give an error. I think four spaces is standard practise.

my $0.02: other languages use brackets to enclose blocks of code, e.g. a while loop python uses indentation. int i = 0 while i < 10: #do this #and this #and this i += 1 #but not this until after while loop is complete
