    "A circle has radius 7. What is its area?",
    "Solve: 2x + 3 = 15"

Example Outputs

Mathematical Reasoning

Input: "Solve this step by step: If a train travels 120 miles in 2 hours, and then 180 miles in 3 hours, what is the average speed for the entire journey?"

Output: "Let me solve this step by step:

Step 1: Calculate total distance
Total distance = 120 miles + 180 miles = 300 miles

Step 2: Calculate total time
Total time = 2 hours + 3 hours = 5 hours

Step 3: Calculate average speed
Average speed = Total distance ÷ Total time
Average speed = 300 miles ÷ 5 hours = 60 miles per hour

Therefore, the average speed for the entire journey is 60 mph."

Logical Reasoning

Input: "If all roses are flowers, and some flowers are red, can we conclude that some roses are red?"

Output: "Let me analyze this logical statement:

Given premises:
1. All roses are flowers
2. Some flowers are red

The question asks if we can conclude that some roses are red.

Analysis:
- From premise 1: roses ⊆ flowers (roses are a subset of flowers)
- From premise 2: ∃ flowers that are red

However, we cannot definitively conclude that some roses are red because:
- The red flowers mentioned in premise 2 might be flowers other than roses
- We have no information directly connecting roses to the property of being red

Conclusion: No, we cannot logically conclude that some roses are red based solely on the given premises."

Code Generation with Reasoning

Input: "Write a Python function to find the factorial of a number, and explain your approach."

Output: "Here's a Python function to calculate factorial with explanation:


def factorial(n):
    """
    Calculate the factorial of a non-negative integer n.
    
    Args:
        n (int): Non-negative integer
        
    Returns:
        int: n! (factorial of n)
        
    Raises:
        ValueError: If n is negative
    """
    if n < 0:
        raise ValueError("Factorial is not defined for negative numbers")
    elif n == 0 or n == 1:
        return 1
    else:
        result = 1
        for i in range(2, n + 1):
            result *= i
        return result

Reasoning behind the approach:

Input validation: Check for negative numbers since factorial is undefined for them
Base cases: 0! = 1 and 1! = 1 by mathematical definition
Iterative calculation: For n > 1, multiply all integers from 2 to n
This iterative approach is more memory-efficient than recursion for large numbers

Example usage:

print(factorial(5))  # Output: 120
print(factorial(0))  # Output: 1
