Not adding any separator causing formatting issues.

A newline '\n' is needed to separate the examples from the new input prompt.

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Not adding a newline after examples.

Using a string literal 'input_text' instead of the variable.

We add a newline after examples (C) and use the input_text variable (B) for the input.

Fill all three blanks to complete the few-shot prompt generation with multiple examples and input.

Prompt Engineering / GenAI

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using commas instead of newlines to join examples.

Using a string literal instead of the input variable.

Setting max_tokens too high or too low.

Join examples with newlines (A), use input_sentence variable (B), and set max_tokens to 50 (C) for output length.
