Statements in Python typically end with a new line. Python does, however, allow the use of the line continuation character (\) to denote that the line should continue.
Example:
total_item = item_one
+ \
item_two + \
item_three
Statements contained
within the [], {}, or () brackets do not need to use the line continuation
character.
Example:
days = ['Monday',
'Tuesday', 'Wednesday',
'Thursday', 'Friday']
