Fundamentals of Prompt Programming. Introduction.

Prompt Programming is a new paradigm in software development, where programs are created through the use of text-based instructions, known as prompts.Instead of writing code in a programming language, you describe to the model in natural language what you want it to do.The model then generates the corresponding code. History of Prompt ProgrammingThe idea of Prompt Programming has been around for a few years, but it has only become a viable tool with the development of Large Language Models (LLMs) like GPT-3 and Bard.These LLMs are capable of understanding and generating complex natural language, making them ideal for use with Prompt Programming. Applications of Prompt ProgrammingPrompt Programming can be used in a variety of application areas, for example:Rapid prototyping: With Prompt Programming, you can quickly and easily create prototypes of software without needing to write code.Task automation: You can use prompts to automate tasks that would otherwise be laborious and timeconsuming.Creation of creative content: You can use prompts to create creative content such as poems, stories, or scripts.Code explanation: You can use prompts to explain and document code.
