Indention

Question

What happens if you indent code without having a statement that needs invention before (like if, for, def...) ?
Will it run?

Answer 1

No. Indentation is very rigid in Python and is part of the syntax. It's like forgetting a semi-colon in C++ or Java :)

Answer 2

Python enforces indentations to keep blocks of codes together. This is similar to C/C++, Java and other languages using {} to keep stuff together.

Answer 3

you will get an error "unexpected indent"
