What’s This About?
The Code Playground is your in-browser coding lab—ready whenever inspiration hits. You can write and run code in multiple languages without installing anything. The Code Snippets section automatically stores the code you save, so you can revisit or publish it anytime.
What You Can Do
- Code in Web, Python, C, C++, Java, and more
- Run and debug your code
- Save snippets and manage them in one place
- Use Device Inspector to preview websites in different screen sizes
- Publish web projects and get a live link like yourname.ccbp.tech
- View your submissions and even check public ones
- Compare expected vs actual output with the Diff tool
- Unlock solution after some time if you’re stuck
