Command Line:

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.

ExampleGet your own Python Server

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

Try it Yourself »
Python will give you an error if you skip the indentation:

Example

Syntax Error:

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

Try it Yourself »
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!")

You have to use the same number of spaces in the same block of code, otherwise Python
will give you an error:

Python Variables
In Python, variables are created when you assign a value to it:

Example

Variables in Python:

x=5
y = "Hello, World!"

Try it Yourself »
Python has no command for declaring a variable.

You will learn more about variables in the Python Variables chapter.

Comments
Python has commenting capability for the purpose of in-code documentation.

Comments start with a #, and Python will render the rest of the line as a comment:

Example

Comments in Python:

#This is a comment.
print("Hello, World!")
