I have this line of code which goes over the line and when testing for pep8 errors I get: line too long. So to try and fix this I used slash('\') but then I get continuation line over-indented for visual indent. What can I do to fix this?
Things I've tried:
if first_index < 0 or second_index > \
self._number_of_plates - 1:
raise ValueError
continuation line over-indented for visual indent
if first_index < 0 \
or second_index > \
self._number_of_plates - 1:
raise ValueError
continuation line over-indented for visual indent
if first_index < 0 or \
second_index > self._number_of_plates - 1:
raise ValueError
continuation line over-indented for visual indent
if first_index \
< 0 or second_index \
> self._number_of_plates - 1:
raise ValueError
continuation line over-indented for visual indent
The line-extending backslash has the issue of having trailing whitespace that can break your code. This is a popular fix and is PEP8-compliant:
if (first_index < 0 or
second_index > self._number_of_plates - 1):
A continuation line is indented farther than it should be for a visual indent.
Anti-pattern In this example, the string "World" is indented two spaces farther than it should be.
print("Python", ("Hello",
"World"))
Best practice
print("Python", ("Hello",
"World"))
