   A developer is working on a project and needs a function to convert a MAC address from the format 'aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff' to 'aabb.ccdd.eeff' (Cisco style). The developer knows the logic but wants to avoid writing the code from scratch. What is the most appropriate prompt for an AI code generation tool?

   • AWhat is the best way to handle network protocols?
   • BWrite a Python function that converts a MAC address from colon-separated to Cisco dotted format.
   • CGenerate a script that configures a network switch.
   • DExplain the different formats of MAC addresses.

   A developer is using an AI code generation tool to create a function that will be used in a multi-threaded application. The AI generates a function that is not thread-safe. What is the most important consideration for the developer?

   • AThe developer should use the function as-is, as thread safety is not a critical concern for most applications.
   • BThe developer should ask the AI to generate a new function, as the first one is clearly faulty.
   • CThe developer should avoid using multi-threading in the application to work around the issue.
   • DThe developer must understand the concurrency requirements and modify the generated code to be thread-safe.
