Code Prompting
Domain: Prompt Engineering
🎯 Motivation
Special considerations for code: specify language, version, style, testing requirements, and error handling expectations.
📋 Concrete Example
‘Write Python 3.11 code. Follow PEP 8 style. Include type hints. Add unit tests using pytest. Handle empty input with ValueError.’ Specific code requirements produce better code.
🔗 Analogy
A blueprint for a building - ‘3 floors, reinforced concrete, earthquake-resistant, includes parking.’ The more specific the requirements, the better the architect’s design. Code prompting specifies code requirements.
