print() #prints an empty line

print( 'The point of having style guidelines is to have a common',
'vocabulary of coding so people can concentrate on what you ' )
# this is now one print() statement, so this whole thing is printed on the same line
# it's just whitespace after the comma, so it gets ignored and the string continues with 'vocabulary...'
print( 'are saying rather than on how you are saying it.' )
# individual print statements print each thing inside () on a new line

print()
# don't indent statements (for now); they start in column 1 (most left side)
# all lines of codes start in column 1
#   print() --> indentation error

print( 'Two respected style gudies are:' )
print( '* https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/' ) # '*' is not a special character - just makes it looks like bullets when printed
