DescriptionAn IPYNB file is a notebook document used by the Jupyter Notebook, an open-source web application that allows users to create and share documents containing live code, equations, visualizations, and narrative text. IPYNB files can contain code written in various programming languages, including Python, R, and Julia, and can be easily shared and collaborated on with others. This format is popular among data scientists, researchers, and educators due to its versatility and ease of use.
Technical detailsEach Jupyter Notebook document consists of a series of cells. A cell can contain code in various programming languages, including Python, R, and Julia, or markdown text. When a cell is executed, its output is displayed immediately below the cell. This output can include text, tables, charts, images, and more. The .ipynb file format stores all the information needed to reproduce a Jupyter Notebook document, including the code, markdown text, and output. This makes it easy to share and collaborate on projects that use Jupyter Notebook.
