Prompt Engineering and AI - Basics for Students

What is Prompt Engineering?

Prompt engineering is the skill of crafting effective instructions or inputs (called prompts) that guide AI models like

ChatGPT to produce accurate and helpful outputs. It is a core concept in working with AI systems that use natural

language processing (NLP).

Why is Prompt Engineering Important?

- Helps get better and more useful responses from AI

- Reduces the chances of incorrect or irrelevant answers

- Makes AI tools more valuable in real-world applications

Types of Prompts

1. Zero-shot Prompting: Giving a prompt without examples

2. One-shot Prompting: Giving one example with the prompt

3. Few-shot Prompting: Giving a few examples to help the model understand the pattern

Examples

Zero-shot:

Prompt: 'Translate this into French: Where is the library?'

Few-shot:

Prompt:

English: Good morning

French: Bonjour

English: Thank you

French: Merci

English: How are you?

French: [AI responds]
