Practice - 5 Tasks

1fill in blank

easy

Complete the code to start the agent's reasoning with a clear thought.

Agentic AI

agent_thought = "I need to analyze the problem step by step: [1]"

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Choosing to skip reasoning or ignore data leads to poor decisions.

The agent should begin by gathering information to reason effectively.

2fill in blank

medium

Complete the code to add a reasoning step that evaluates options.

Agentic AI

agent_thought += " Next, I will [1] to decide the best action."

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Arandomly pick an action

Bignore the consequences

Cevaluate all possible actions carefully

Dchoose the first action without thinking

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Choosing actions without evaluation leads to errors.

Evaluating all possible actions carefully is key to good chain-of-thought reasoning.

3fill in blank

hard

Fix the error in the agent's reasoning update to correctly append the next thought.

Agentic AI

agent_thought = agent_thought [1] " Finally, I will execute the chosen action."

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using arithmetic operators other than '+' causes errors.

Using '+' concatenates strings properly to build the chain of thought.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to create a dictionary that maps each step to its description.

Agentic AI

reasoning_steps = {1: [1], 2: [2]

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

A"Gather information"

B"Ignore data"

C"Evaluate options"

D"Skip reasoning"

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Putting 'Ignore data' or 'Skip reasoning' as steps breaks the chain.

The first step is to gather information, the second is to evaluate options.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to complete the agent's chain-of-thought function.

Agentic AI

def chain_of_thought(agent_input):
    thoughts = []
    thoughts.append([1])
    thoughts.append([2])
    thoughts.append([3])
    return " -> ".join(thoughts)

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

A"Gather information"

B"Evaluate options"

C"Execute action"

D"Ignore input"

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Including 'Ignore input' breaks the reasoning chain.

The agent first gathers information, then evaluates options, and finally executes the action.
