What 'inconsistent use of tabs and spaces in indentation' Means in Python and How to Fix It

Learn why indentation in Python is so important and how you can fix any mistakes. Indenting blocks of code is an important part of programming; it serves several purposes. First and foremost, it improves readability. Imagine removing all the formatting from a recipe leaving only the spaces between the list of ingredients and instructions. This would be hard for the cook to follow. In Python, indentation also controls how your code behaves.

What Is the Python Interpreter?

Without an interpreter, your Python code is just words on a screen. Find out what a Python interpreter is, what it does, and what your code looks like ‘under the hood’. At the most fundamental level, computer programs are simply sets of instructions. To do some basic arithmetic and save the output we need something like the following instructions: ‘load the number 8’, then ‘load the number 9’, then ‘add the first number to the second and store it somewhere’.

How to Filter a Python Dictionary

Learn how to build your own filters with multiple conditions, then use them to filter Python dictionaries by any combination of keys and values. Python dictionaries are extremely versatile. They can hold a variety of data types and are used to model many different real-world objects and relations. It is no surprise, then, that we want to perform specific operations (like filtering) on Python dictionaries. Filtering a dictionary in Python can be especially tricky because they can be filtered by key, values, or both, using an arbitrary number of conditions.
