Expected an indented block

Question

I'm getting an Expected an indented block here's the code, thank you for any help.

        #Given the menu the user will calculate the area of square, circle, rectangle
from math import pi
def main ():

    #declare and initialize variables

    #float radius = length = width = base = height = 0.0
    radius = length = width = base = height = 0.0

    #float areaCircle = areaRectangle = areaTriangle = 0.0
    areaCircle = areaRectangle = areaTriangle = 0.0

    #int menuChoice = 0
    menuChoice = 0

    #display intro

    while menuChoice != 4:
            #Display menu
            print("Geometry Calculator")
            print("1) Calculate the Area of a Circle")
            print("2) Calculate the Area of a Rectangle")
            print("3) Calculate the Area of a Triangle")
            print("4) Quit")

            #Prompt for menuChoice

            if menuChoice == 1:
                while radius < 0:
                    #prompt for radius
                    radius = eval(input("What is radius of circle: "))
                if radius < 0:
                    #display invalid
                    print("Invalid input. Cannot be a negative value.")
                    #calculate areaCircle
                    areaCircle = pi*r**2
                    #display areaCircle
                    print("The area of the circle is: ", areaCircle)

            elif menuChoice == 2:
                while length < 0:
                    #prompt for length
                    length = eval(input("What is the length of the rectangle: "))
                if length < 0:
                    #display invalid
                    print("Invalid input. Cannot be a negative value.")
                while width < 0:
                    #prompt for width
                    width = eval(input("What is the width of the rectangle: "))
                if width < 0:
                    #display invalid
                    print("Invalid input. Cannot be a negative value.")
                    #calculate areaRectangle
                    areaRectangle = length * width
                    #diplay areaRectangle
                    print("The area of the rectangle is: ", areaRectangle)

            elif menuChoice == 3:
                while base < 0:
                    #prompt for base
                    base = eval(input("What is the length of the base of the triangle:"))
                if base < 0:
                   #display invalid
                    print("Invalid input. Cannot be a negative value.")
                while height < 0:
                    #prompt for height
                    height = eval(input("What is height of triangle"))
                if height < 0:
                    #display invalid
                    print("Invalid input. Cannot be a negative value.")
                    #calculate areaTriangle
                    areaTriangle = 1/2 * base * height
                    #display areaTriangle
                    print("The area of the triangle is: ", areaTriangle)

            elif menuChoice == 4:
                #display exit message

            else:
                #display invalid
                print("You must choose a number between 1-4 from the menu")

The error pops up at else. I've tried indenting one at a time, probably something small i'm overlooking third week into programming.

Answer 1

You need some sort of placeholder for the final elif block. You may use the standard Python non-op, pass :

elif menuChoice == 4:
    #display exit message
    pass

I'm assuming this will eventually be replaced by some other code, so the problem would have resolved itself had you continued working. If you are not planning on putting anything in this block, omit it entirely. There is no need for a conditional branch that does nothing.

Answer 2

It's the last line (#display exit message). Add a correctly indented pass statement, until you know what to do here. You need an actual python statement here, not a comment.
