'Jupyter notebook interface different

I am following a video lecture series on YT to learn pandas. The jupyter notebook interface is different on my pc and in the tutorial.

This is the interface in the tutorial:

Original Interface

This is the interface that I see:

My interface:

As it is clearly seen, the interface in tutorial is compact compared to mine. It also has In and Out symbols before every code line which is missing from my interface. As a result I don't see output to the commands when I run the code. Plz help.

First of all, this is nothing to be concerned about. The tutor in the video is using the old school Jupyter Notebook, which is the go-to editor because

  1. It's the original Jupyter Notebook software.
  2. Easy to set up.

However, the one you are using is called JupyterLab, which also is quite popular, and as you can already tell, is more user-friendly.

The same project (Jupyter) developed these two open source tools and both of them have good support for IPython, and have active communities. The same backend is used and the keyboard shortcuts are also the same.

In short, they are just different versions of the same software, and you can do everything the tutor is doing on your PC, using the software you showed (JupyterLab).

If you are looking for an alternative UI with more control, I suggest you use Visual Studio Code. It has excellent support for Jupyter Notebooks and can be customized to suit your needs with numerous extensions.
