Introduction to JupyterLab for Beginners

🌟 What is JupyterLab?

JupyterLab is a free, open-source program that lets you write and run code in an interactive way inside your web browser.

Think of it as a digital notebook where you can:

  • Write notes (like a Word document ✍️)
  • Run Python code (or other languages 💻)
  • See the results immediately (numbers, tables, charts, even images 📊)

It’s very popular in data science, machine learning, and scientific research, because you can mix explanations, code, and results all in one place.

🔑 Key Features
