 I am currently developing a Python-based script for the management of a database, however during attempting the code, I encountered a scenario where an error message occurred which was showing an “ unexpected indent error”. How can I troubleshoot this particular issue?

In the context of Python programming language, if you are getting the error message of “ unexpected indent error’’ during the process of attempting the code, then this could be due to the inconsistencies in the indentation within your particular code. To solve this particular issue, you can use the following points:-

Identify the source

First, you would need to check the specific line number where this particular issue was raised or occurred. The error message would generally indicate the line which is the reason for the issue.

Review indentation

After identifying the source, ensure consistent indentation in your all coding structure. Do not forget to use tabs or spaces consistently as Python Heavenly relies on a defined block structure.

Adjust indentation

You can use an editor that could help you in the conversion of tabs to spaces or vice-versa if your indentation type is mixed.

Here is the example given:-

# Corrected indentation example
Def your_function():
    If condition:
        # Correct indentation for this block
        Do_something()
    Else:
        # Another block with correct indentation
        Do_something_else()

# Ensure consistency in indentation throughout your entire script.
