# Using a Code Cell

Write & Run Code in a Notebook.

You can write and execute code using the Notebook interface. This section covers the steps to write and run a sample code in the Code cell of the Data Science Notebook.

## Running Code inside a Code Cell

* Create a new Notebook and open it.
* A cell to write and execute code opens under the selected Notebook by default.

* Write code inside the cell.
* Click the ***Run cell*** icon to run the code.

{% hint style="info" %}
*<mark style="color:green;">Please Note:</mark> The Code cells also get code from the selected Notebook operations by using the right-side panel and selecting a specific option. E.g., The user can use the Datasets tab to get an added data set to the code cell.*

* The Run cell button gets changed into the ***Interrupt cell*** icon while running the code.
* Another code cell gets added below (as shown in the following image).
