Type spaces for indentation and Enter for line breaks; Tab moves focus. For varied snippets, open the code typing tool. To plan a session, read the code typing practice routine.
Practice focus
Preserve Python-style indentation and line endings.
- Inspect the visible spaces at the start of each line and the colons before indented blocks.
- Enter spaces manually and press Enter for each displayed line break; this surface has no automatic indentation.
Review your attempt
A misplaced space can be a copying error even when the visible words match. This lesson does not execute the snippet.
