To Write Your Third Python Code

7 × 95

  1. Click + Code on a notebook to add a code cell
  2. Type 7*95
  3. Press the play button to execute the code
  4. 665 is the result
Colab screenshot: three completed cells — print("Hello, world!") with its output, 10+10 with output 20, and 7*95 with output 665.

To Save Your Colab Notebook

Watch demo video

  1. Click Untitled.ipynb at the top of the notebook
  2. Delete the title and replace it by typing python1
  3. Press the enter key
  4. The file python1 is now saved in your Google Drive
  5. Click File and then Save
  6. Close your browser
Colab screenshot: the notebook renamed python1 (highlighted next to the Drive icon) with the File menu open and Save (Ctrl+S) highlighted.

To Open Your python1 Notebook

  1. Click this link or go to your Google Drive.
  2. Click python1 from the list on the pop-up window
  3. The notebook will open

OR click File menu then Open Notebook

Colab screenshot: the saved python1 notebook reopened, showing its three cells and their outputs — Hello, World!, 20 and 665.
