I don't get the meaning of indentation

Answer 1

Hey Jelvin,

This might help you:

„Indentation refers to the spaces at the beginning of a code line.

Where in other programming languages the indentation in code is for readability only, the indentation in Python is very important.

Python uses indentation to indicate a block of code.“

I suggest you read the article for a better understanding. =}

Answer 2

Indentation is required in python because it indicates which lines of code are specifically inside a certain block of code which will be used by a certain function or class during runtime

Answer 3

Jelvin Python is not like some programming , indentation most be use for( condition /for/while/with/class) almost every thing in python , you need to get used to that

Answer 4

Jelvin consider what happens without indentation. How would you indicate to the Python interpreter which statements belong inside a loop or an if statement?

for i in range(64):
p <<= 1
if (p-1)%3==0:
flag = true
print(p)

Without indentation you cannot be assured of the intent of the code. Here it is with indentation:

for i in range(64):
p <<= 1
if (p-1)%3==0:
flag = true
print(p)

Now it is easy to see that all the statements belong inside the loop, and which ones are executed conditionally.

Answer 5

Indentation means space that is used to certify code.
