Chain-of-Thought

Solve this step by step:

Problem: A store has 150 apples. They sell 40% on Monday and 30 more on Tuesday. How many remain?

Let me think through this:
1. Starting amount: 150 apples
2. Monday sales: 150 × 0.40 = 60 apples sold
3. After Monday: 150 - 60 = 90 apples
4. Tuesday sales: 30 apples sold
5. After Tuesday: 90 - 30 = 60 apples

Answer: 60 apples remain

Role-Based Prompting

You are an expert code reviewer with 15 years of experience in TypeScript and React. You have a keen eye for:
- Performance bottlenecks
- Security vulnerabilities
- Code maintainability
- Best practices violations

When reviewing code:
1. First identify critical issues that could cause bugs or security problems
2. Then note performance concerns
3. Finally suggest style improvements

Always explain WHY something is an issue, not just WHAT is wrong.
