Indentation in Python
Indentation
Python Indentation is a way of telling a Python interpreter that the group of statements belongs to a particular block of code. A block is a combination of all these statements. Block can be regarded as the grouping of statements for a specific purpose.
Indentation :
Indentation is a very important concept of Python because without proper indentation the Python code will end up with Indentation Error and the code will not get compiled.
- It simply means adding whitespace before statement.
- 1 Tab space is considered as one indentation.
- 1 Tab space is equal to 4 white space.
- Generally , after every ‘:’ we use Indentation.
Example:
- def add(): #one tab space is preferred as indention generally.
Example 1:
Run
#indendation
p='PrepInsta'
if(p=='PrepInsta'):
print('Hello Prepsters we are here to help you.')Output:
Hello Prepsters we are here to help you.
Example 2:
Run
#without indentation
p='PrepInsta'
if(p=='PrepInsta'):
print('Hello Prepsters we are here to help you.')
Output:
File "main.py", line 4
print('Hello Prepsters we are here to help you.')
