This is a Jupyter notebook. This is an interactive programming document that consists of two types of "cells": code cells and Markdown cells. Markdown cells are text cells that can be formatted with a markup language called Markdown (check out the Markdown cheatsheet).
For example, this is a Markdown cell, which can include bolded text. But the cells below contain Python code that you can actually run.
Place your cursor in the next cells and then click the play button in the top menu (or shift shift
+ return
) and see what happens.
"All this happened, more or less".upper()
"All this happened, more or less".title()
The Python methods .upper()
and .title()
changed the capitalization of Kurt Vonnegut's famous line. Our first bit of Python code in action!
