- Progress indicators

## 🚀 Getting Started

### 1. Run Your Code
```python
# Write Python code in the editor
print("Hello, World!")

# Import any installed package
import numpy as np
arr = np.array([1, 2, 3, 4, 5])
print(f"Array: {arr}")
print(f"Mean: {np.mean(arr)}")
```

### 2. Install Packages
- Go to "Package Manager" tab
- Enter package names (comma-separated)
- Click "Install"
- Example: `numpy, pandas, matplotlib, plotly`

### 3. Upload Files
- Go to "File Manager" tab
- Upload files using the file picker
- Files are stored in your workspace
- Access files directly in your code

### 4. Data Visualization Example
```python
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

# Generate data
x = np.linspace(0, 10, 100)
y = np.sin(x)

# Create plot
plt.figure(figsize=(10, 6))
plt.plot(x, y, 'b-', label='sin(x)')
plt.xlabel('x')
plt.ylabel('y')
plt.title('Sine Wave')
plt.legend()
plt.grid(True)
plt.show()
```

## 📚 Pre-installed Libraries

The following packages are pre-installed and ready to use:
- NumPy
- Pandas
- Matplotlib
- Plotly
- Seaborn
- SciPy
- Scikit-learn
- Pillow
- Requests
- BeautifulSoup4
- NetworkX
- SymPy

## 🔧 Available Packages

You can install additional packages using the Package Manager. Popular options:
- `tensorflow` - Machine learning
- `torch` - Deep learning
- `transformers` - Hugging Face transformers
- `streamlit` - Web app framework
- `dash` - Interactive dashboards
- `openai` - OpenAI API client
- `langchain` - LLM application framework

- `geopandas` - Geospatial analysis
- ` sqlalchemy` - Database ORM

## 🎯 Use Cases

### Data Analysis
```python
import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

# Load and analyze data
df = pd.read_csv('your_data.csv')
print(df.head())
df.describe().plot()
plt.show()
```

### Machine Learning
```python
from sklearn.ensemble import RandomForestClassifier
from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split

# Train a model
X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(X, y, test_size=0.2)
model = RandomForestClassifier()
model.fit(X_train, y_train)
```

### Web Scraping
```python
import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

# Scrape a webpage
url = "https://example.com"
response = requests.get(url)
soup = BeautifulSoup(response.content, 'html.parser')
print(soup.title)
```

### API Integration
```python
import requests
import json

# Call an API
response = requests.get('https://api.github.com/users/octocat')
data = response.json()
print(json.dumps(data, indent=2))
```

## ⚠️ Security Notes

- Code runs in a secure sandbox environment
- No network access to external resources (except for package installation and explicit API calls)
- Files are isolated per session
- Execution timeouts prevent infinite loops
- Maximum memory usage is limited

## 📝 Tips & Tricks

1. **Use variables across executions**: Variables persist within a session
2. **Install packages first**: Install required packages before using them
3. **Save important outputs**: Use file operations to save results
4. **Check session info**: Monitor your session status
5. **Explore the interface**: Each tab provides different functionality
