Multi-Line Statements

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']
