Don't proceed without reading this part!

Just within these two paragraphs, we used to word 'syntax' a lot, but what does it mean?  Syntax defines the way a line of code is written and interpreted by the computer. It's basically the grammar of programming; each programming language has its own syntax and rules of how things are written. Two other pre-Python topics you have to know before proceeding are indentation and comments. Though we won't be using it in the first 3 sections, we will definetely be using indentation from section 4 onwards and it basically refers to the placement of code horizontally relative to other pieces of code. Though this may not make sense now, you will definetely understand it in section 4. Other than that, comments are used all throughout the code on the website and are show using hashtags (#). These represent messages that the computer doesn't read but you as the user you do to gain a better understanding of what's been done in the code. All of this alone may sound like a lot, but trust me, you'll understand it a lot better with examples.
