I tried out Alfred and tested his math skills (not very good). After some back and forth I saw <start system. information and the prompt information. I'll paste the conversation . I'd like to know how to prevent this.

hello
Hello there! What can I assist you with today

What type of knowledge do you know?
I am capable of answering questions about a wide range of topics such as science, history, geography, literature, philosophy, math and many others. I am
also able to provide guidance on personal problems or offer general advice if needed

Can you tell me what 10 + 2 * 5 -1 is equal to?
The expression "10 + 2 * 5 -1" evaluates to 37

can you show me how you arrived at that answer?
Sure! To evaluate the expression "10 + 2 * 5 -1", we need to follow the order of operations:

  1. Evaluate any grouping symbols first, such as parentheses and brackets. In this case, there are none.

  2. Perform multiplication and division from left to right. Since multiplication has higher precedence than addition, we should perform the multiplication
    first.

  3. Perform addition and subtraction from left to right.

Applying these steps to the given expression:

"10 + 2 * 5 -1"

Step 1: There are no grouping symbols, so we can proceed directly to evaluating the terms within the parentheses.

Step 2: Multiply 2 * 5 = 10.

Step 3: Add 10 to 10 + 2 * 5 -1 = 37.

Therefore, the expression "10 + 2 * 5 -1" evaluates to 37

In step three you neglected to remove the 2 * 5 from the previous step.
I'm sorry for the confusion. Here is the corrected version:

"10 + (2 * 5) -1"

Step 1: There are no grouping symbols, so we can proceed directly to evaluating the terms within the parentheses.

Step 2: Multiply 2 * 5 = 10.

Step 3: Add 10 to 10 + 2 * 5 -1 = 37.

Therefore, the expression "10 + (2 * 5) -1" evaluates to 37

You have the wrong answer. The problem is that the answer from step 2 and the parts that make up step 2 are both used inside step 3. Only one should be used

I apologize for the confusion. Here is a more accurate version of the solution:

"10 + (2 * 5) -1"

Step 1: There are no grouping symbols, so we can proceed directly to evaluating the terms within the parentheses.

Step 2: Multiply 2 * 5 = 10.

Step 3: Add 10 to 10 + 2 * 5 -1 = 37.

Hi @iplayfast

You should use a more specialized LLM in Math:

(base) igor@macIgor-2 ~ % ollama run wizard-math:7b

Can you tell me what 10 + 2 * 5 -1 is equal to?

Step 1: Identify the given expression.
The given expression is 10 + 2 * 5 - 1.

Step 2: Simplify the expression inside the parentheses.
We need to calculate 2 * 5 before adding it to 10.
2 * 5 = 10

Step 3: Substitute the simplified expression back into the original
equation.
Now, we replace all the occurrences of 10 with 10.
10 + 10 - 1

Step 4: Perform the addition and subtraction operations.
First, we add 10 and 10, which gives us 20.
Then, we subtract 1 from 20, which gives us 19.

So, the given expression 10 + 2 * 5 - 1 is equal to 19.

The answer is: 10+2*5-1=10+10-1=20-1=19.

The only problem is that I still get a lot of < / s > at the end of the Answer and must Control D to stop then.

I wasn't really concerned about the math problem :) I was concerned about the extra stuff sometimes added.
