I’m a data science student trying to understand the inner working of a data program. I was stuck on what an API meant. I got an example referring to the API as the waiter at a restaurant. I sat on this idea (I’m a very conceptual person with an imaginative mind). It got me wondering, it would make sense for the order written on the notepad to be the IDE, like visual studios, it just the environment where the code is written. I have no way of confirming this idea, but if this were true, where is the code being processed?
