Answer 1

What's your question about this?

Answer 2

In Python, everything that ends with a colon, starts a code block - a row of instructions that belong together. (In other languages, brackets are used for that.)

So when you write something like this:

if x>1:
print("Whatever")
stuff = input()
box_of_stuff = list(stuff)

... all the indented lines belong to the if and are only executed... well... if. :-)

And as soon as you *don't* indent a line after such a block, it means the block has ended and you're back in the outer row of instructions.

Answer 3

I'm new in this programming language so when I tried to implement elif example I had an issue because it was indented. Is there any rule about indentation?
