  • Google Colab is a cloud-based interactive platform offered by Google that allows users to write, run, and share Python code in a notebook-style interface. Resembling the popular Jupyter Notebook, a Colab Notebook offers the advantage of executing Python scripts with the support of free GPUs and TPUs, enhancing the computational speed for data-heavy tasks. Integrated with Google Drive, these notebooks make collaboration easy, allowing multiple users to view, comment, and edit in real-time. This combination of interactivity, computational power, and collaborative ease makes Google Colab an attractive choice for data scientists, researchers, and educators alike.
