    "# Create a custom prompt template\n",
    "\n",
    "Let's suppose we want the LLM to generate English language explanations of a function given its name. To achieve this task, we will create a custom prompt template that takes in the function name as input, and formats the prompt template to provide the source code of the function.\n",
    "\n",
    "## Why are custom prompt templates needed?\n",
    "\n",
    "LangChain provides a set of default prompt templates that can be used to generate prompts for a variety of tasks. However, there may be cases where the default prompt templates do not meet your needs. For example, you may want to create a prompt template with specific dynamic instructions for your language model. In such cases, you can create a custom prompt template.\n",

    "The only two requirements for all prompt templates are:\n",
    "\n",
    "1. They have a input_variables attribute that exposes what input variables this prompt template expects.\n",
    "2. They expose a format method which takes in keyword arguments corresponding to the expected input_variables and returns the formatted prompt.\n",
    "\n",
    "Let's create a custom prompt template that takes in the function name as input, and formats the prompt template to provide the source code of the function.\n",
