You are making a lot of changes to different code cells of your Jupyter notebook and all of sudden you see results which do not make any logical sense. What would you do?

Restart the runtime as you think the many changes that you made are still held in memory and are messing you up Delete code cells and reinsert them Remember when ever a code cell is run, it will hold all the variables declared in that code block in memory. Even if you remove the variables or delete a code block on your .ipynb file, the variables are still held in memory which are not shown in the code and may be potentially messing you up. Once you restart your runtime, memory will be wiped clean and you start with a clean slate. Deleting a code block and reinserting does not help when you are in this situation
