First, these are trivial examples. I would not classify "give me the values to this math formula" as clarifying questions.
Second, in response to "I'm not sure why you think that?" ask GPT why it often does not ask clarifying questions. It will explain to you why!
Third, I just asked GPT the most vague question on the planet: "I am trying to create a function that takes a value, and gives me a result using that value and another, separate external value, can you give me the correct solution to this using Python?"
And nowhere in its response did it try and ask WTF I was talking about (tho sure its responses are sensible - I am not saying GPT-4 is spewing nonsense)
Sure, I can help you with that! Here is an example function that takes two values, x and y, and returns their sum:
def add_values(x, y):
result = x + y
return result
You can call this function with any two values you want, like this:
print(add_values(2, 3))
This will output 5, which is the sum of 2 and 3.
If you want to use an external value in your function, you can pass it in as a third argument, like this:
def add_values_with_external_value(x, y, external_value):
result = x + y + external_value
return result
You can call this function with the same two values as before, and an external value of your choice, like this:
print(add_values_with_external_value(2, 3, 10))
This will output 15, which is the sum of 2, 3, and 10.
