jupyter notebook is an open-source web-based application that allows users
to create and share files containing code snippets and their output, data visualization results, mathematical formulae, etc., with explanatory text, all in a single file.
Data scientists widely use it because it supports popular data science
libraries like pandas, TensorFlow, scikit-learn, etc. Also, it is pretty popular among big data engineers as it offers the integration of big data tools such as Apache Spark. How does a Jupyter Notebook work?
A jupyter notebook can execute a code snippet with the
help of a kernel running in the background. The browser shares the code with the kernel, then executes it and sends it back to the browser. Why use a Jupyter Notebook?
The best part about using a jupyter notebook is that it serves as an
interactive platform where users can simultaneously look at the computational code and results. Additionally, it allows the user to break down a huge chunk of code into small snippets to analyze the logic quickly. Jupyter notebooks are best suited for showcasing data visualization results and thus work well for presentations. What is a Jupyter Notebook used for?
Jupyter notebooks are widely used for completing various data
science tasks, such as applying multiple machine learning and deep learning algorithms over large datasets.
Additionally, they are used by data analysts to perform
