IndentationError: unexpected indent
Error message
IndentationError: unexpected indent
What broke
Python relies on indentation to define the structure of the code. An unexpected indent means that there is an extra space or tab that does not align with the expected indentation level.
Why it broke
This error occurs when the indentation of a line does not match the indentation of the surrounding lines. It can happen if you mix spaces and tabs or if you accidentally add an extra space at the beginning of a line.
How to fix
To fix this error, check the indentation of the lines around the error. Ensure that you are using consistent indentation (either spaces or tabs) throughout your code. Remove any extra spaces or tabs that are not needed.
