Questions & Answers

Q: What is the Jupiter Notebook environment?

The Jupiter Notebook environment is an open-source web application used for creating and sharing documents that contain code, visualizations, and text.

Q: How can I access the lab for exploring air quality data?

You can find the lab in Week 2 of the course, under the title "Lab Air Quality: Explore the Data." Clicking on "Launch Notebook" will open the lab in a new browser tab.

Q: What is the purpose of the code cells in the Jupiter Notebook?

The code cells contain Python code that can be executed. Running each cell sequentially allows subsequent cells to build on the actions taken in previous cells.

Q: How can I resolve errors in the code cells?

If you encounter an error, it is likely due to a typo or mistake in the code. You can try to identify and correct the error. If necessary, you can reset the lab by selecting "Get Latest Version" in the Help menu.
