Title: 3 Code Generation
Course: LLM_Prompt_Engineering_For_Developers > Section: Module 28: 3 Code Generation

3. Code Generation

Overview

LLMs can assist in writing code by generating snippets based on high-level descriptions of what the code should do. This can significantly expedite the development process for developers.

Example

- Prompt: “Write a Python function to calculate the factorial of a number.”
- Response:

def factorial(n):
    if n == 0:
        return 1
    else:
        return n * factorial(n - 1)


Explanation

Here, the prompt directly asks for a Python function, allowing the model to generate a specific and relevant code snippet. The clarity of the request ensures that the output meets the developer’s requirements, showcasing the practical utility of prompt engineering in software development.
