Is Python a

Chapter SummaryThat concludes our quick look at Python statement syntax. This chapter introducedthe general rules for coding statements and blocks of code. As you’ve learned, inPython, we normally code one statement per line, and indent all the statements in anested block the same amount (indentation is part of Python’s syntax). However, wealso looked at a few exceptions to these rules, including continuation lines andsingle-line tests and loops. Finally, we put these ideas to work in an interactive scriptthat demonstrated a handful of statements, and showed statement syntax in action.In the next chapter, we’ll start to dig deeper by going over each of Python’s basicprocedural statements in depth. As you’ll see, though, all statements follow the samegeneral rules introduced here.Chapter Summary | 215
