Practice - 5 Tasks

1fill in blank

easy

Complete the code to initialize the agent's model with a transformer architecture.

Agentic AI

agent_model = TransformerModel([1]=512, num_layers=6)

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'learning_rate' instead of 'hidden_size' here.

Confusing 'batch_size' with model architecture parameters.

The 'hidden_size' parameter sets the size of the hidden layers in the transformer model.

Complete the code to tokenize input text before feeding it to the agent.

Agentic AI

tokens = tokenizer.[1](input_text)

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

Aencode

Bdecode

Cgenerate

Dtrain

Attempts:

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'decode' which converts tokens back to text.

Using 'generate' which is for producing output, not tokenizing.

Tokenization converts text into tokens using the 'encode' method.

3fill in blank

hard

Fix the error in the code to correctly generate code output from the agent.

Agentic AI

generated_code = agent.[1](input_tokens)

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

Cpredict

Dcompile

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'train' which is for learning, not generating output.

Using 'generate_code' which is not a standard method name.

The 'predict' method is used to get the agent's output given input tokens.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to create a dictionary comprehension that maps function names to their code strings if the code length is less than 50.

Agentic AI

code_map = {func_name: [1] for func_name, [2] in functions.items() if len(code) < 50}

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

Acode

Bfunc_code

Ccode_str

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using inconsistent variable names for the code string.

Confusing keys and values in the dictionary comprehension.

The comprehension maps function names to their code strings stored in 'code', iterating over 'functions.items()' with 'func_name' and 'code'.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to filter and map functions with names starting with 'gen' and code length over 30.

Agentic AI

filtered_funcs = { [1]: [2] for [3], code in all_functions.items() if [3].startswith('gen') and len(code) > 30 }

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

Aname

Bfunc_name

Ccode

Dfunc_code

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using different variable names inconsistently.

Not matching the loop variables with the condition variables.

The comprehension uses 'func_name' as key and 'code' as value, iterating over 'func_name, code' in all_functions.items().

What is the main purpose of a code generation agent in AI?

easy

A. To execute code faster than a computer

B. To manually debug code written by humans

C. To automatically write code from given instructions

D. To replace all human programmers completely

Solution

1. Step 1: Understand the role of a code generation agent

   A code generation agent is designed to write code automatically based on instructions it receives.

2. Step 2: Compare options with this role

   Only To automatically write code from given instructions matches this purpose. Other options describe unrelated tasks.

3. Final Answer:

   To automatically write code from given instructions -> Option C

4. Quick Check:

   Code generation agent purpose = automatic code writing [OK]

Hint: Focus on automatic code writing, not manual or execution tasks [OK]

Common Mistakes:

• Confusing code generation with debugging
• Thinking it executes code faster
• Assuming it replaces all programmers

2.

Which of the following is the correct way to instruct a code generation agent to create a Python function named add that returns the sum of two numbers?

easy

A. Define add to subtract two numbers

B. Function add returns x minus y

C. Create add function that multiplies x and y

D. Write a function add(x, y) that returns x + y

Solution

1. Step 1: Identify the correct instruction for addition

   The instruction must specify a function named add that returns the sum (x + y).

2. Step 2: Check each option

   Write a function add(x, y) that returns x + y correctly instructs to write a function add(x, y) returning x + y. Others describe subtraction or multiplication.

3. Final Answer:

   Write a function add(x, y) that returns x + y -> Option D

4. Quick Check:

   Correct function instruction = Write a function add(x, y) that returns x + y [OK]

Hint: Look for 'returns x + y' to identify addition function [OK]

Common Mistakes:

• Choosing instructions for subtraction or multiplication
• Ignoring function name or return statement
• Confusing wording of instructions

3.

Given this instruction to a code generation agent: Write a Python function multiply that returns the product of two numbers. Which of the following code outputs is correct when calling multiply(3, 4)?

medium

A. 7

B. 12

C. 34

D. Error

Solution

1. Step 1: Understand the function's purpose

   The function multiply should return the product of two numbers, so multiply(3, 4) should return 3 * 4 = 12.

2. Step 2: Evaluate each output option

   12 is 12, which matches the expected product. Others are incorrect or errors.

3. Final Answer:

   12 -> Option B

4. Quick Check:

   3 * 4 = 12 [OK]

Hint: Multiply inputs to find correct output [OK]

Common Mistakes:

• Adding instead of multiplying
• Concatenating numbers as strings
• Assuming function causes error

4.

Consider this code generated by an agent:

def divide(x, y):
    return x / y

result = divide(10, 0)

What is the main issue with this code?

medium

A. Runtime error due to division by zero

B. Logical error returning wrong result

C. Syntax error due to missing colon

D. No issue, code runs correctly

Solution

1. Step 1: Analyze the function call

   The function divide is called with y=0, which causes division by zero.

2. Step 2: Identify the error type

   Division by zero causes a runtime error (ZeroDivisionError) in Python.

3. Final Answer:

   Runtime error due to division by zero -> Option A

4. Quick Check:

   Divide by zero causes runtime error [OK]

Hint: Check for zero in denominator to spot division errors [OK]

Common Mistakes:

• Thinking it's a syntax error
• Assuming code runs without error
• Confusing logical error with runtime error

5.

You want a code generation agent to create a Python function that filters out all negative numbers from a list and returns the positive numbers only. Which instruction will most likely produce the correct function?

hard

A. Write a function that returns only positive numbers from the list

B. Write a function that returns all numbers less than zero from the list

C. Write a function that returns the sum of all numbers in the list

D. Write a function that returns the list sorted in descending order

Solution

1. Step 1: Understand the filtering goal

   The goal is to keep only positive numbers, so the instruction must specify returning positive numbers.

2. Step 2: Evaluate each instruction

   Write a function that returns only positive numbers from the list correctly asks for a function returning only positive numbers. Others do different tasks.

3. Final Answer:

   Write a function that returns only positive numbers from the list -> Option A

4. Quick Check:

   Filter positive numbers = Write a function that returns only positive numbers from the list [OK]

Hint: Look for 'returns only positive numbers' in instruction [OK]

Common Mistakes:

• Choosing instructions that filter negatives instead
• Confusing filtering with summing or sorting
• Ignoring the word 'positive' in instruction
