[!note] Overview of Python Syntax
Python emphasizes readability and simplicity. Its syntax is designed to be clean, consistent, and human-friendly.

Key syntax elements include:

• Indentation instead of braces for code blocks
• Colons : to begin blocks (like loops, functions, conditionals)
• Comments start with # and are ignored by the interpreter
• Snake_case for variable and function names
• Whitespace matters for structure, not between expressions

[!example] Minimal Example

# This is a comment
def greet(name):
    print("Hello,", name)

if True:
    greet("Void")

[!tip] Syntax Philosophy

• “There should be one — and preferably only one — obvious way to do it.” — The Zen of Python
