Hi, all, Lately I am giving some presentations to my colleagues about the python language. A new internal project is coming up which will require the use of python.
One of my colleague asked an interesting: *If Python use indentation to denote scope, why it still needs semi-colon at the end of function declaration and for/while/if loop?* My immediate response is: it allows us to fit statements into one line. e.g. if a == 1: print a However I do not find it to be a particularly strong argument. I think PEP8 does not recommend this kind of coding style anyway, so one-liner should not be used in the first place! Is there any other reasons for use of semi-colon in python? Cheers
