 1. GETTING STARTED WITH CHATGPT
This section helps you understand what ChatGPT is, which version to use,
how to access it, and how tokens (words) are counted.

1.1 Difference between GPT-3.5, GPT-4, and GPT-4o (For Developers)

GPT-3.5
GPT-3.5 is a smart model, but not the smartest.
It is fast and free.
Good for simple coding help, basic answers, and short tasks.
GPT-4
GPT-4 is smarter than GPT-3.5.
It understands longer questions and gives better answers.
It is only available in the ChatGPT Plus (paid) plan.
GPT-4o ("o" stands for Omni)
GPT-4o is the newest and smartest version.
It is faster than GPT-4 and can understand text, images, and voice.
It gives the best answers and is great for developers.
Available in ChatGPT Plus, and also in the API.

Feature GPT-3.5 (Free) GPT-4 (Pro) GPT-4o (Pro)

Speed Fast Slower Fast

Accuracy Medium High Very High

Multimodal No No Yes (text, image)

Price Free Paid Paid

1.2 When to Use Free vs. Pro Version

Free Version (GPT-3.5)
Good for beginners.
You can try basic coding help, homework, small answers.
No cost, but not always correct.
Pro Version (GPT-4 or GPT-4o)
Use when you need better answers, coding help, or you want to build
apps.
Use if you are working on professional tasks, content writing, or ChatGPT
plugins.
Pro version costs $20/month.
Tip:
Start with free. If you feel it gives wrong answers or can’t understand your
question, try the pro version.
 1. GETTING STARTED WITH CHATGPT
1.3 ChatGPT Web UI vs. API Usage

Web UI (chat.openai.com)
You type your question and get answers.
Easy to use — no coding needed.
Good for learning, testing, chatting, writing, and getting code examples.
API (for developers)
Used to connect ChatGPT with your own app, software, or website.
You send requests using code (like Python or JavaScript).
Good for making chatbots, AI tools, or automating tasks.

Feature Web UI API

Use Case Ask questions manually Automate and build tools

Code Needed No Yes

Speed Medium Fast (customizable)

Example Ask “What is HTML?” Make a bot that answers questions

1.4 Token Limits and Pricing Overview (OpenAI API)

What is a token?
A token is like a small piece of text.
For example:
"ChatGPT is great!" = 4 tokens
Each word or part of a word counts as a token.
Token Limits (Max Text Length):

Model Max Tokens

GPT-3.5 16,385

GPT-4 128,000

GPT-4o 128,000

This means GPT-4 can remember more in a single conversation.

 1. GETTING STARTED WITH CHATGPT
Pricing (as of 2025, via OpenAI API):

Model Input (per 1K tokens) Output (per 1K tokens)

GPT-3.5 $0.00 $0.00

GPT-4 $0.03 $0.06

GPT-4o $0.01 $0.02

Note:
Input tokens = what you send (your prompt).
Output tokens = what ChatGPT replies.

So if you send 1000 tokens and get 1000 tokens back, you pay for 2000 tokens.
 2. PROMPT ENGINEERING FOR DEVELOPERS
This section helps you write better questions (called “prompts”) so
ChatGPT understands you clearly, especially for coding.

2.1 Prompt Formatting Tips (Bullets, Numbered Lists, Delimiters)

ChatGPT gives better answers when you write clearly.
Tips:

Use bullet points (-) to separate ideas

Example:
Explain the difference between:
HTML
CSS
JavaScript

Use numbered lists to show steps

Example:
Give me the steps to create a login page:
Create HTML form
Add CSS styles
Write JavaScript for validation

Use triple backticks (```) to separate code

Example:
Write Python code to add two numbers:

Be specific in your question

Not good: "Write code"
Better: "Write Python code to reverse a string without using built-in
functions"

2.2 Using ### for Sections in Prompts

Use ### to divide parts of your prompt. ChatGPT understands sections
better this way.
 2. PROMPT ENGINEERING FOR DEVELOPERS
2.2 Using ### for Sections in Prompts
Example Prompt:

ChatGPT will now break the answer based on your sections.

2.3 How to Tell ChatGPT Your Programming Context

If you tell ChatGPT about your coding level or tools you are using, it will
give better answers.
Examples:
“I’m a beginner in JavaScript. Explain simply.”
“Use Tailwind CSS in the answer.”
“Use React 18 syntax only.”
“Show example using fetch() not axios.”
Tip:
Write your needs clearly at the top of your prompt. Like:

2.4 Using JSON or YAML in Prompts

You can use JSON or YAML formats to give structured instructions.

Why?
ChatGPT understands structure better when data is clean and labeled.
JSON Prompt Example:
 2. PROMPT ENGINEERING FOR DEVELOPERS
2.4 Using JSON or YAML in Prompts
YAML Prompt Example:

Tip:
Use this when asking for code generation, documentation, or templates.

2.5 Anchoring Responses with Examples (Prompt Technique)

This is called "few-shot prompting."
Example Prompt:

Why it works:
You show the format you want. ChatGPT follows the style exactly.

 16. BEST PRACTICES & PITFALLS
Learn how to use ChatGPT the right way when writing code, and what to
avoid.

16.1 Avoiding Over-Reliance

What this means:
Don’t become fully dependent on ChatGPT for every line of code.
Why?
You may stop learning how things really work
You might not understand errors when they happen
Not everything generated is always correct
What to do instead:
Use ChatGPT as a helper, not a replacement
Try first → then ask ChatGPT to review or improve
Learn the “why,” not just the “what”

16.2 Validating Generated Code

What does "validate" mean?
It means you check that the code works and makes sense before using it.
Why it matters:
Sometimes, ChatGPT can make mistakes
Code might look right but give wrong results
What you should do:
Run the code on your computer or IDE
Use console.logs / print statements to test output
Ask: “Can you explain what this code does line-by-line?”
Use comments to understand
Extra Tip:
If unsure, ask:

16.3 When to Avoid Using ChatGPT

ChatGPT is not always the right tool.
Here’s when not to use it:
Situation Why Not to Use ChatGPT

In an exam or test It’s not allowed — learn it yourself

For writing private company code May not be secure to share

When working with very new tools ChatGPT may be outdated (not latest versions)

When speed is more important than help Sometimes searching Google or Stack Overflow is
faster
 16. BEST PRACTICES & PITFALLS
16.4 How to Give Clear Context in Prompts
What is "context"?
It means extra details that help ChatGPT understand your situation better.
Why it's important:
Better context = better answers
Example 1 — Bad prompt:

Example 2 — Good prompt:

What to include in your prompt:

What the code is supposed to do
What’s not working
What you’ve already tried
The language or framework you’re using
If you want a beginner explanation
