Oh ok, so for the first block , it works because the indentation is the same
for all 3 "print" statements , i.e. the indentation is 4 spaces for each of the
3 print statements.
if a == 1:
print("If a is one, this will print.")
print("So will this.")
print("And this.")
print("This will always print because it is not indented.")
For the 2nd block of code, it doesn't work because the indentation is
different, 2 spaces for the first statement, 5 for the 2nd statement and 4 for
the 3rd statement.
if a == 1:
print("Indented two spaces.")
print("Indented four. This will generate an error.")
print("The computer will want you to make up your mind.")
Am i correct ?
