What are the differences between Jupyter magic commands?

Jupyter magic commands are special commands prefixed with % or %% that enhance the functionality of Jupyter notebooks. They can be categorized into line magics (single line) and cell magics (multiple lines).

Can you give me examples of line and cell magic commands?

Sure! An example of a line magic command is %time, which measures the execution time of a single line of code. A cell magic command example is %%timeit, which times the execution of an entire cell.

Are there any other types of magic commands?

Yes, there are also system magics, which allow you to interact with the operating system, like %ls to list files in the current directory.

How do I create my own magic command?

You can create your own magic command by defining a function and using the @magic decorator from the IPython library. This allows you to customize commands to fit your needs.
