Can we use Google colab to write python code and run with csv file? What does "Data Parsing" mean?

Hey Amy, Thank you for reaching out! Sure, you are welcome to use Google Colab if it works better for you. Regarding your second question, it's difficult to explain the concept of data parsing without getting too technical. In the context of the 'Strings' lecture, however, you can say that the input (which is of a string data type) is parsed to an integer. This allows for performing calculations with the user input. Hope this helps! Kind regards, 365 Hristina
