IndentationError: unexpected indent

This error occurs in Python when the code has an indentation that is not expected. Indentation is a crucial part of Python syntax, and the interpreter expects the code to be indented correctly.

Here is an example:

if x == 5:
print("x is equal to 5")

In this code, the second line should be indented to indicate that it is inside the if statement. However, it is not indented, and the interpreter raises an "IndentationError: unexpected indent" error.

To fix this error, you should check the indentation of your code and make sure that it is consistent and correct. You can also use a text editor that automatically indents your code, such as Visual Studio Code or PyCharm.
