IndentationError

Question

hey, I'm trying to learn python while using my linux terminal (I'm kinda new on this OS) and when i try to write the parto of the code after "print("3")", it just shows me a message that says: 'File "<stdin>", line 2
print("3") \n if num<5:
^
IndentationError: expected an indented block'
Can anyone please help me to understand how can I solve this please??

Answer 1

You probably forgot to indent the instruction, and your previous line require a bloc of instruction:

a = 42
if a > 0:
print("Positive")

Thar produce an indent error at line 3, because the if statement require at least one line indented to be into its body, as this:

a = 42
if a > 0:
print("Positive")

^^

Answer 2

can you post a link for your code in the code playground?
To see what is the problem we need to see the code before that print.
