Python exercise

Question

In the codeacademy, I’m having the error with the following code:

# Tenha certeza que the_flying_circus() retorna True
def the_flying_circus():
    if  5==5 :    # Comece seu codigo aqui!
    return True
        # Nao esqueca de recuar
        # o codigo dentro deste bloco!
    elif 5!=5 or 6>=4 :
    return False
    else: 
    return False
        # Continue aqui.
        # Voce vai querer adicionar tambem a declarao else!

Error:

Answer 1

The indentation in Python must be respected so that the code is executed in perfect block.

Just add a tab or 4 espaços[1] on lines running within conditional structures:

def the_flying_circus():
    if  5==5:
        return True //identar
    elif 5!=5 or 6>=4:
        return False //identar
    else: 
        return False //identar

print the_flying_circus() //chamar função

I tested that code on it codeacademy and it worked. You can test the pythonfiddle also.

Indentation is a predominant feature in the language Python.

While code blocks are explicitly delimited in C, Java and PHP by keys, in Pascal and Fortran by keywords such as then and endif, in Python blocks are delimited by spaces or tabulations forming a visual indentation, there are no symbols(in fact, the symbols, are the tabulations themselves, or spaces) that indicate when the code of a given function starts, or ends.

For this reason python requires a standardized indentation. In other languages, such as C/C++ or JavaScript, indentation is not required due to block delimiters, being used only for better visualization.
