Python: So you used spaces and tabs for indentation? NOW DIE!
Mixing spaces and tabs should be a warcrime.
And in Python, it's merely a SyntaxCrime.
Find me anyone who claims they use tabs for indentation, and I bet I'll find at least one case where they're using both tabs and spaces.
The only safe way to avoid war crimes is to avoid tabs.
I use the tab key but I'm pretty sure vs code converts that to spaces
Good. Spaces and tabs for indentation should never be mixed in any language other than Whitespace.
Some people use tabs for indentation and spaces for alignment. It kind of gets the pros of tabs (user configurable indent-width) and the pros of spaces (alignment). That doesn't work in Python where you can't align stuff and the interpreter doesn't allow mixing tabs with spaces, but in other languages it is a possible style.
There are no pros to tabs. Configure tabs to a number of spaces.
Raw adjust with tabs, fine adjust with spaces.
Don't laugh, people are actually doing that.
Mixing tabs and white spaces in 2024 is categorically a you problem lmao
Are you ok?
