Nested for loops and print statements

[Cai Gengyang]

Ok it works now:

>>>for row in range(10):
      for column in range(10):
       print("*",end="")

     
****************************************************************************************************

but how is it different from ---

>>> for row in range(10): 
       for column in range(10): 
          print("*",end="") 
           
SyntaxError: inconsistent use of tabs and spaces in indentation 

Why does the example on top work and the example below doesn't work ? The only difference is that the "print" statement is one space different from each other. Forgive me if i can't explain things clearly over the forum
