For loop indentation

alt text

I am in the last print line, but for some reason it indents it as if I am still in the for loop. How do I know I am outside of the loops?

Try to go to the end of the line and then hit enter.

sometime workspaces behaves abnormally so I would suggest running your python locally, you can install the interpreter here https://www.python.org/downloads/ and VScode (editor) here https://code.visualstudio.com/

Hi,

When you unindent your line you will be outside the loop that is right above it, generally you should have 4 spaces to have your line inside the loop. You can do this with a keyboard shortcut 'ctrl+[' for unindenting and 'ctrl+]' for indenting if you do not want to delete spaces manually and it also a great way to avoid errors.

Also, as a side note, you can post your code directly in your question's details instead of a screenshot by typing 3 backticks (`) then 'python' then your code and then another 3 backticks

{'''python

your code here

'''}

ignore the curly brackets above.

Hope this helps!

Thanks a lot Yahya for your reply and advice!

The thing is when I unindent and I press enter for a new line it still indents four or more spaces automatically as if I am still in the loop block. Do you have any idea why this happens?

I used the screenshot to show where the curser is indented in the last print line.
