From this point onward, you will receive coding challenges in Jupyter Notebook format. If you know how to properly setup the environment for such notebooks, feel free to do so. However, we recommend you to use Google Colab, as it offers many advantages over plain Jupyter notebooks. Read this article to learn how Colab works.
