What is Prompt?
The text you write to an AI to ask for something — your question, instruction, or context.
// Explanation
The prompt is simply what you tell the model. It can be a short question ('what is a token?') or a long block of text with detailed instructions, context, examples, and constraints. The quality of the prompt enormously determines the quality of the response — hence the profession of 'prompt engineer' was born.
// Example
Telling the AI 'summarize this' is a prompt. Telling it 'you are a finance expert, summarize this in 3 points for a non-technical CEO, no jargon' is a good prompt.
