Ok it works now:
>>>for row in range(10):
for column in range(10):
print("*",end="")
****************************************************************************************************
but how is it different from ---
>>> for row in range(10):
for column in range(10):
print("*",end="")
SyntaxError: inconsistent use of tabs and spaces in indentation
Why does the example on top work and the example below doesn't work ? The only
difference is that the "print" statement is one space different from each
other. Forgive me if i can't explain things clearly over the forum
