1. Comments:
Use the # symbol for single-line comments.
Employ triple quotes (''' or """) for multi-line comments.

2. Indentation:

Python uses indentation to define blocks of code.


Use consistent indentation (usually four spaces or a tab) for code within the same block.

3. Statements and Lines:

Each statement is typically written on a separate line.


Use a backslash (\) to continue a statement onto the next line.

4. Variables:

Variables are created by assigning a value to a name.


Variable names should be descriptive and follow the rules for identifiers.

5. Keywords:

Avoid using Python keywords as variable names.

6. Data Types:

Python supports various data types, including integers, floats, strings, booleans, lists, and more.
Variables should be assigned values of the appropriate data type.

7. Quotation Marks:

Strings can be defined using either single (') or double (") quotation marks.

8. Colon (:) for Blocks:

Use a colon to indicate the beginning of a new block of code (e.g., in if statements, loops, and function
definitions).
Reflection
Identify the given examples of which
syntax.
