## Running Code inside a Code Cell

* Create a new .ipynb file. &#x20;

* Open the newly created .ipynb file.
* Insert the first Code cell by using the Add pre-cell icon.

* 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 **Data** tab to get an added data set to the code cell.*
{% endhint %}

* The ***Run*** cell button is changed into the ***Interrupt cell*** icon while running the code.

* Once the code has run successfully a checkmark appears below the ***Run cell*** icon.
* The code result is displayed below it.
