Datalore 2023.4 Help

Cells

When you create a notebook and open it in the Datalore editor, your basic workflow is adding and editing cells.

First code cell

By default, the empty code cell is where you start coding in your new notebook. Your cursor is already placed inside this cell.

  1. Write your code.

  2. Click the Run icon in the upper left corner of the cell to have the code executed. The result of the computation (output) will be displayed in the same cell right under the input.

You can use more run options. For more information, see Code running options.
