Question

I have an error which says “expected an indented block”
Could you please guide me on how to deal with this error. Thank you:)

Code example:

for ch in f: ( translatedToken = english_hindi_dict[ch] ) if (ch in english_hindi_dict) else (translatedToken = ch) 

Answer 1

You are probably mixing tabs with spaces. It looks indented but it really isn’t.

Your code gives me a different error:

for ch in f:                                                  \
  ( translatedToken = english_hindi_dict[ch] )                \
    if (ch in english_hindi_dict) else (translatedToken = ch)
                                                        ↑

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Maybe you meant:

for ch in f:
  if ch in english_hindi_dict:
    translatedToken = english_hindi_dict[ch]
  else:
    translatedToken = ch

Maybe you meant instead:

for ch in f:
  translatedToken = english_hindi_dict[ch] if ch in english_hindi_dict else ch

Both should run just fine, and I expect the second to be faster than the former

They both can be optimized into translated = str(english_hindi_dict.get(ch, ch) for ch in f) but that’s not the point of the question.
