Detailed Explanation

Page 6, 'The "If" Syntax' slide, states under 'Indentation:' that 'The "action" must be spaced in!'. Page 15, 'Mistake #2: Colon & Indent', further clarifies: 'Python uses whitespace to know what code belongs to the if block.' Indentation is crucial for defining code blocks in Python.

Hint

Recall the 'Indentation' rule and its significance for Python code blocks, as highlighted in the syntax and common mistakes sections.
