• Python statement ends with the token NEWLINE


character (carriage return). It means each line in a
Python script is a statement. The following Python
script contains three statements in three separate
lines.

Use backslash character \ to join a statement span over


multiple lines, as shown below.

3

Please note that the backslash character spans a


single statement in one logical line and multiple
physical lines, but not the two different statements in
one logical line.

4

Use the semicolon ; to separate multiple


statements in a single line.

5

Expressions in parentheses (),


square brackets [ ], or curly braces { } can be
spread over multiple lines without using
backslashes.

Indentation Rules
• Use the colon : to start a block and press
Enter.
• All the lines in a block must use the same
indentation, either space or a tab.
• Python recommends four spaces as
indentation to make the code more readable.
Do not mix space and tab in the same block.
• A block can have inner blocks with next level
indentation.

then try this condition".

Python Naming Conventions


• The Python program can contain variables,
functions, classes, modules, packages, etc.
Identifier is the name given to these
programming elements. An identifier should
start with either an alphabet letter (lower or
upper case) or an underscore (_). After that,
more than one alphabet letter (a-z or A-Z),
digits (0-9), or underscores may be used to
form an identifier. No other characters are
allowed.

• Identifiers in Python are case sensitive, which means variables named


age and Age are different.
• Class names should use the TitleCase convention. It should begin with
an uppercase alphabet letter e.g. MyClass, Employee, Person.
• Function names should be in lowercase. Multiple words should be
separated by underscores, e.g. add(num), calculate_tax(amount).
• Variable names in the function should be in lowercase e.g., x, num,
salary.
• Module and package names should be in lowercase e.g., mymodule,
tax_calculation. Use underscores to improve readability.
• Constant variable names should be in uppercase e.g., RATE,
TAX_RATE.
• Use of one or two underscore characters when naming the instance
attributes of a class.
• Two leading and trailing underscores are used in Python itself for a
special purpose, e.g. __add__, __init__, etc.

Display Output

• The print() serves as an output


statement in Python. It echoes the
value of any Python expression on the
Python shell.

which can be referred to by a variable
having a suitable name.
