If else error "IndentationError: unexpected indent"

I'm trying to learn Python and I'm running the code:

for car in cars:
  if car == 'bmw':
      print(car.upper())
  else:
      print(car.title())

But I'm getting this error:

for car in cars:
...    if car == 'bmw':
...       print(car.upper())
...           else:
  File "<stdin>", line 4
    else:
    ^
IndentationError: unexpected indent

How can I improve the code?

This should help I hope.

cars = ['audi', 'bmw']
for car in cars:
    if car == 'bmw':
        print(car.upper())
    else:
        print(car.title())

Also, do not mix tabs and spaces when indenting your code. This could be the reason why you're getting the error.

As the error suggests, the problem is with the indentation of the else statement. It should be at the same indentation level as the if statement in the for loop.

if...:
    .....
else:
    .....
