1,028 PointsLines of code that happen when something else happens are indented. under an if statement everything is indented 1 above the if statement header. once the whole if statement ends, the indentation for regular lines of code goes back that of the if statement header. (ex.) if (whatever you're testing): <--- if statement header (stuff that you'll do)<----- this is indented x += 56.34
^ indentation returns to the previous amount | because the if statement is over |
