expected an indented block python error

I am new to Python so don't know much about it. But I know the basics of indentation and I cannot solve the error of expected an indented block in the following code.

meal =["egg","milk","spam","tomato"]

for item in meal:
    if item =="spam":
        nasty_food =item
        break

if nasty_food:
   print("there is nasty food")

Visually I don't see an indentation issue in the code you posted. Verify that you are not mixing up tabs and spaces as that can also lead to indentation issues.

You have to indent code with consistency since that is a must do in Python.

Don't use different number of spaces for indent per function. This will lead you to new issues.

Try this code:

meal = ["egg", "milk", "spam", "tomato"]

for item in meal:
    if item == "spam":
        nasty_food = item
        break

if nasty_food:
    print("there is nasty food")
