This document explains the importance of indentation in Python programming, which indicates how code is grouped and is essential for avoiding errors. It recommends using four spaces for indentation, while also mentioning that the tab key can be used. Additionally, it briefly covers how to create comments in Python using the '#' symbol.

Indentation
What is Indentation?
Indentation is the space at the beginning of a line in
your code.
In Python, these spaces are very important because
they show how the code is grouped.
Why is Indentation Important?
Python uses indentation to know which lines of code
belong together.
If your indentation is wrong, Python will not
understand your code and will show an error.
How to Indent Code:
Use 4 spaces to indent your code.
You can also use the Tab key on your keyboard, but
using spaces is the standard practice in Python.

3. • Python uses indentation to indicate a block of code.
• Example
• if 5 > 2:
print("Five is greater than two!")
Class task:
Lets remove the space and check?

4. The number of spaces is up to you as
a programmer, the most common use
is four, 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!")

5. Python comment
Creating a Comment
• Comments starts with a #, and Python will ignore
them:
Example
• #This is a comment
print("Hello, World!")
