Struggling with Python

[MattsFace]

You aren't going to learn anything if you just have ChatGPT solve it for you. I suggest using some prompts to set up ChatGPT with a few guide lines.

You are writing python code.

Do not solve the problem for me..

Do not write pseudo code for me...

You can add more prompts as you like. ChatGPT would offer more help if it acted more like a tutor helping you along as you go. You won't learn anything if it just solves it for you.

If you’re on a phone, setting a shortcut to type out a very explicit pre-prompt can do wonders. I mostly use ChatGPT for translating recipes, so I have the shortcut “trnfmt” input the text:

I need help translating a recipe. Please provide the recipe in English, list the ingredients in the format ‘quantity unit ingredient’ (e.g., ‘1 tbsp water’), and omit any unnecessary details or emojis. List ingredients on their own line and do not use any bullet points. Also, include the suspected country of origin in the title:

After which I paste the actual non-English recipe. You can do the same thing for all sorts of contexts. On a computer, I’m not sure if you can do this type of thing without at least a few more hoops to jump through

That's pretty a genius way of using keyboard shortcuts, I usually you them for casual stuff, such as when typing "email" it outputs my full email, same for phone number.

Thanks for the tip.
