***Using a code cell under a Notebook***
{% endembed %}

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 BDB DSL Notebook.

{% hint style="info" %}
*<mark style="color:green;">Please Note:</mark> A Code cell gets added by default while creating a new Notebook.*&#x20;
{% endhint %}

* 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 following image displays how the code for an available Dataset gets inserted while selecting the dataset.*

{% endhint %}

* 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).
