Each statement has zero or more spaces before the first non-space. This is the indentation of that statement. Some languages ignore it and others require it. But, it is always a good idea to make use of it. This is an example: class p { int z; } The starting and ending line have an indent of zero spaces. The property of the class has an indent of 2 spaces. There are many different forms of indentation used by programmers. The most important part is consistancy. Coding like this: class p { int z; } while perfectly legal, will confuse yourself and others. The normal indent is 4 spaces and IDE's make tabs a single indent. I tend to use 2 spaces as coding on a phone with 4 takes up a lot of display space. For the courses you have started, Python does require indent, while Java does not.
