Prompt Engineering – Prompting Techniques Quiz
Chain-of-Thought & Reasoning
Chain-of-Thought Prompting is a technique where we ask AI to explain its reasoning step by step before giving the final answer. It improves clarity, reduces mistakes, and works best for complex problems that require logical thinking.
