X platform pilots AI to generate "community notes", Grok access information verification process
In Grok code, the rational use of spaces and indentation can help enhance the readability and maintainability of the code. The following is a detailed introduction to how to use it:
1. Basic indentation rules
1.1 Language-specific indentation specifications
# Python: 4 spaces indent (never use tab characters) def example_function(): if condition: print("Correct indent") # Java/JavaScript: 2 or 4 spaces public class Example { public static void main(String[] args) { if (condition) { System.out.println("correct indent"); } } }
1.2 Clear instructions to Grok
When generating Python code: - Strictly use 4 spaces indentation - Do not mix tabs and spaces - Continue line indentation with an extra level (8 spaces)
2. Spaces around operators
2.1 Standard operator spacing
# Correct example x = (a + b) * (c - d) # Tips for Grok: "When generating code, a space is left on both sides of the operator, except for power operations" result = a**2 + b**2 # Power operators are tightly connected
2.2 Special circumstances handling
# Slicing operation without spaces correct = list[1:3] # The default parameter equal sign of the function does not add spaces to def func(param=default):
3. Spaces in function and class definitions
3.1 Function spacing
# Two blank lines between functions def function_one(): pass def function_two(): # There are two blank lines here pass
3.2 Class definition specification
class MyClass: """Class document string""" def __init__(self): self.attribute = value
Tips for Grok:
When generating class code: 1. A blank line after the class document string 2. A blank line between methods 3. Directly followed by the attribute definition after __init__
4. Parameter list and call spaces
4.1 Function definition
# Def function(param1, param2):
4.2 Function calls
# Correct call method result = calculate_total(items, discount=0.1) # Avoid this result = calculate_total( items, discount = 0.1 )
5. Indentation of multi-line structure
5.1 Multi-line format for list/dictionary
# Correct multi-line indentation config = { 'name': 'value', 'long_parameter': 'another_value', 'nested': { 'inner': 'data' } }
5.2 Chain method call
# The correct way result = (query.filter(condition) .group_by('category') .order_by('date'))
Tips for Grok:
When generating multi-line structure: 1. The elements in brackets are aligned vertically 2. One element per line 3. The ending brackets are a separate line
6. Indentation of conditional statements and loops
6.1 Complex conditional format
# Multi-line conditional statement if (long_condition_1 and long_condition_2 or special_case): handle_condition()
6.2 Indentation in a loop
# List comprehension line break results = [ transform(x) for x in collection if condition(x) ]
7. Format of import statement
7.1 Standard import grouping
# 1. Standard library import os import sys # 2. Third-party library import numpy as np # 3. Local module from . import utils
8. Comments indentation specification
8.1 In-line comments
x = x + 1 # Compensation boundary condition
8.2 Block Comments
# This loop handles the following situations: # 1. Data Cleaning# 2. Outlier Filtering for item in collection: process(item)
9. Exception handling format
9.1 Standard exception handling
try: risky_operation() except SpecificError as e: handle_error(e) except (Error1, Error2) as e: handle_multiple(e) Finally: cleanup()
10. Full prompt template for Grok
Please generate [language] code to comply with the following spaces and indentation rules: 1. Indentation: [4 spaces/2 spaces/tab] 2. Operator: Spaces on both sides [Yes/No], except [Specific Operator] 3. Function: [number of empty lines] after definition, [space rules] after parameter list 4. Multi-line structure: [Alignment], [Maximum Line Width] 5. Comments: [In-line/block comment] format requirements 6. Import: [Group Requirements], [Blank Line Separation]
