More golfing.
- If you have a loop or `if`, you can save two or more characters (depending on the current indentation level and the number of statements in the body) by putting it right after the colon:
- For example, assume you have this loop with 33 characters:
- ```
- for x in a:
- do_something_with(x)
- ```
- Since you've got just one statement, you can delete the newline character and the following indentation space, in order to get 31 characters:
- ```
- for x in a:do_something_with(x)
- ```
- If the body has more than one statement, those can be separated with semicolon. For example
- ```
- if (condition):
- do_something()
- do_more()
- ```
- becomes
- ```
if condition: do_something();do_more()- ```
- Thanks to @Moshi for pointing out that it also works with several statements.

It works also for more than one statement
If you have just one statement as body of a loop or `if`, you can save two or more characters (depending on the current indentation level) by putting it right after the colon:- For example, assume you have this loop with 33 characters:
- ```
- for x in a:
- do_something_with(x)
- ```
- Since you've got just one statement, you can delete the newline character and the following indentation space, in order to get 31 characters:
- ```
- for x in a:do_something_with(x)
- ```

- If you have just one statement as body of a loop or `if`, you can save two or more characters (depending on the current indentation level) by putting it right after the colon:
For example, assume you have this loop with 34 characters:- ```
- for x in a:
do_something_with(x);- ```
Since you've got just one statement, you can delete the newline character and the following indentation space, in order to get 32 characters:- ```
for x in a:do_something_with(x);- ```
