Conversation management in Prompt Engineering / GenAI - Interactive Code Practice

Practice - 5 Tasks

1fill in blank

easy

Complete the code to initialize a conversation history list.

Prompt Engineering / GenAI

conversation_history = [1]

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

C[]

DNone

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using a dictionary {} instead of a list.

Using an empty string '' which cannot hold multiple messages.

We use an empty list [] to store conversation turns in order.

2fill in blank

medium

Complete the code to add a user message to the conversation history.

Prompt Engineering / GenAI

conversation_history.[1]({'role': 'user', 'content': user_input})

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

Ainsert

Bextend

Cpop

Dappend

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using pop which removes items.

Using extend which expects an iterable.

The append method adds a new item to the end of the list, which is perfect for adding new messages.

3fill in blank

hard

Fix the error in the code to retrieve the last message from conversation history.

Prompt Engineering / GenAI

last_message = conversation_history[1]

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

A[0]

B[-1]

C[-2]

D[1]

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using index 0 which gets the first message, not the last.

Using index 1 which gets the second message.

Using [-1] gets the last item in the list, which is the most recent message.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to filter messages from the assistant only.

Prompt Engineering / GenAI

assistant_messages = [msg for msg in conversation_history if msg[1] 'role' [2] 'assistant']

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

A['role']

B==

C!=

D['content']

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using != which filters out assistant messages.

Accessing the wrong key like 'content'.

We access the 'role' key with ['role'] and check if it equals 'assistant'.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to create a summary dictionary of user messages count and last assistant message.

Prompt Engineering / GenAI

summary = [1](
    'user_count': sum(1 for msg in conversation_history if msg['role'] [2] 'user'),
    'last_assistant': next((msg['content'] for msg in conversation_history if msg['role'] [3] 'assistant'), None)
)

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

Adict

B==

Dlist

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using list instead of dict for summary.

Using != which reverses the logic.

We use dict to create a dictionary. The == operator checks roles for 'user' and 'assistant'.
