If you set chunk_size=100 and chunk_overlap=0 in RecursiveCharacterTextSplitter, what is the effect on the chunks?
AChunks will be empty
BChunks will overlap by 100 characters
CChunks will be smaller than 100 characters
DChunks will have no repeated text and be exactly 100 characters each
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:

  1. Step 1: Interpret chunk_overlap=0 meaning

    Setting overlap to zero means no repeated characters between chunks.

  2. Step 2: Understand chunk size effect

    Chunks will be exactly chunk_size length (100 characters) without overlap.

  3. Final Answer:

    Chunks will have no repeated text and be exactly 100 characters each -> Option D

  4. Quick Check:

    chunk_overlap=0 means no overlap [OK]
Quick Trick: Zero overlap means no repeated text between chunks [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Assuming zero overlap causes overlap
  • Thinking chunks become smaller
  • Believing chunks become empty
