So, while we were previously typing directly into the console, you can actually go through and create new notebooks that'll let you go and code directly into those. So, if you go File, New File, you can then add in an R Notebook or a Markdown, and it'll look just like this one. And as it notes for you, essentially what this does is it gives you, kind of, an isolated sandbox where you can go through and put in code, and then run pieces of that code. So, let's just take a look. For example, they've got this sample code already here for us, and we've got a built-in dataset in R called Cars. So now, if we wanted to go ahead and run this particular code and plot Cars, let's see what this does. So I'm going to put my cursor here between the P and the L.
