What does indentation mean?
The act of making something more attractive or easier to understand by adding spaces or tabs at the beginning of a line of text, typically to show the structure of a program or to make a piece of writing more readable. In programming, it refers to the use of whitespace to indicate the grouping of statements or the nesting of control structures.
