3. Basic Python Syntax

Python syntax is designed to be clear and readable:

• Indentation is used to define code blocks

• Comments start with #

• Statements typically end with a newline

• Code is written in plain text files with a .py extension

• Use of colons to start new code blocks

# Example code:

# This is a comment

print("Hello, World!")  # This prints "Hello, World!"

if True:
    print("This is indented")
    if True:
        print("This is further indented")
