Prompts

A prompt is written instructions you give to a language model like ChatGPT. Prompts can begin as a short instruction such as generate a lesson plan on Python loops. If the results are not what you want, then you can add more text. The more context you put in your prompts and the more specific you are about what you want in the response the more you are likely to get what you desire.
