Indentation in Python

Python Indentation:


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.
Example:
if 5 > 2:
  
print("Five is greater than two!")



Python will give you an error if you skip the indentation:
Example:
if 5 > 2:
print("Five is greater than two!")  //Syntax Error



The number of spaces is up to you as a programmer, but it has to be at least one.                                                 
Example:
if 5 > 2:
 
print("Five is greater than two!"
if 5 > 2:
        
print("Five is greater than two!")                                          



You have to use the same number of spaces in the same block of code, otherwise Python will give you an error:
Example:
if 5 > 2:
 
print("Five is greater than two!")
        
print("Five is greater than two!")
