What is Python Statement?

In Python, a statement is a code that the interpreter runs or the instructions that the interpreter follows. A statement like z = 5 sends the value 5 to the variable z. In Python, statements come in a variety of forms, including while, if, and so on.

The continuation character () in Python is used to prolong a statement across multiple lines. As a result, the statement is now a multi-line statement. 

Parentheses (), braces (), or square brackets [ ] can also be used to define a multi-line statement. A semicolon can also be used to specify numerous statements on a single line.

• Example using Continuation Character (\)

If the user wishes to compute the sum of many numbers, he can do so using the continuation character in a multi-line expression. Consider the following illustration:

x = 1 + 2 + 3 + \

     2 + 3 + 1 + \

     3+ 9 + 1

• Example using parentheses ()

Multiline statements can also be declared using parentheses (). Consider the following example:

x = (11 + 12 + 13 +

     42 + 25 + 26 +

     73 + 38 + 39)

• Example using braces {}

Braces can also be used to express multi-line statements. Consider the following illustration:

x = { 2 + 3 + 1 +

     4 + 15 + 6 +

     7 + 18 + 9}

• Example using square brackets [ ]

Square brackets [] can also be used to define a multi-line statement. Consider the following illustration:

x = [31 + 23 + 53 +

     45 + 52 + 56 +

     7 + 28 + 29]

• Example using a semicolon (;)

A semicolon can also be used to specify numerous statements on a single line. Consider the following illustration:

x = 2; y = 3; z = 4
