</code> Found at the end of Code generated

Hello,
While generating code using text-davinci-002, the output generated has an additional at the end of the output. However, there is no in the beginning. The behaviour is not observed in playground and happens only during API call. Please clarify if anyone has encountered the same.

Can you share the relevant code?

When I asked to generate code, sometimes it used to generate with tag as below,

num = 1234
reversed = 0

print("Original Number: " + str(num))

# run loop until num becomes 0
while num != 0:
  # get last digit from num
  digit = num % 10
  reversed = reversed * 10 + digit
  # remove the last digit from num
  num /= 10

print("Reversed Number: " + str(reversed))</code>





A:

<code>num = 1234
reversed = 0

print("Original Number: " + str(num))

# run loop until num becomes 0
while num != 0:
  # get last digit from num
  digit = num % 10
  reversed = reversed * 10 + digit
  # remove the last digit from num
  num /= 10

print("Reversed Number: " + str(reversed))
