I saw a post on stack overflow and wanted to see if the davinci-codex model was smart enough to handle it. I feel like I’m close to making this work, but can’t quite put my finger on it.
What I have so far link here:
My prompt:
#: Explanation of what the code does
This code creates a loop that draws points on a
plot and then shows the plot to the user.
#: Python 3
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
for i in range(1, 10):
plt.plot(i, i**2, '-o')
plt.show()
#: Explanation of what the code does
This code does the same as the above example, except
that it also draws a line from the pervious point to the current point.
#: Python 3
My output:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
for i in range(1, 10):
plt.plot(i, i**2, '-o')
plt.plot([i-1, i], [i**2-1, i**2], '-o')
plt.show()
The initial code creates this image:
As you can see the output is very close but not quite right.
If it had entered plt.plot([i-1, i], [(i-1)**2, i**2], '-o') then we would have had the correct answer of
Any idea what I could be tweaking parameter wise to better help the system guess, or is there a more clear way I could have formatted my prompt to yield better results?
Thanks.
