It simplifies the set up and use of Python for data science, machine learning, and scientific computing. It comes with all the important tools you need, like NumPy, Pandas, and JupyterLab, so you don’t have to install everything separately. The Conda package manager helps you install and update software without worrying about breaking other programs. It also lets you create separate environments, so different projects don’t interfere with each other. Additionally, Anaconda includes programs like JupyterLab for interactive coding, and Spyer a MATLAB-like IDE. ## Instructions 1.
