👉 Chain-of-thought (Chains) is a method of problem-solving and logical reasoning where you break down a complex problem into smaller, more manageable steps or "chains" of reasoning. Each chain represents a sequence of logical deductions or steps that lead from one piece of information to the next, ultimately guiding you toward a conclusion or solution. This approach helps in organizing thoughts clearly, ensuring that each step logically follows from the previous one, and can be particularly useful in mathematics, programming, and critical thinking tasks. By methodically working through these chains, you can systematically address intricate problems and reduce the likelihood of errors.
