In Python, the order of instructions is important to ensure the correct execution of a program. Python follows a top-down approach, meaning the instructions are executed line by line, from top to bottom.

Basic Syntax Rules:

1. Indentation: Python uses indentation (spaces or tabs) to define blocks of code (e.g., loops, functions, conditionals). Indentation is crucial and should be consistent throughout the code.

   if True:
       print("This is indented")
   

2. Comments: Single-line comments start with #, while multi-line comments use triple quotes (''' or """).

   # This is a comment
   """
   This is a multi-line comment
   """
   

3. Statements: Each instruction (statement) is typically written on a separate line. Multiple statements can be written on the same line by separating them with a semicolon (;).

   x = 10; y = 20; z = 30
