Statements in Python classically end with a new line. Python does, though, permit the use of the line continuation character (\) to denote that the line should continue. Illustration:
total = item_one + \
item_two + \
item_three
Statements controlled within the [], {}, or () brackets do not require to use the line continuation character. Illustration:
Days = [''Monday'', ''Tuesday'', ''Wednesday'',
''Thursday'', ''Friday'']
