// MISSION BRIEF

Your Mission

LangChain Expression Language (LCEL) composes chains with the | operator: each component is a Runnable, and the output of one feeds the next. For a tester, the payoff is seams: every stage can be invoked, swapped, or faked in isolation.

Scoring: equal weight per question.

// FIRST CONTACT

Battle teaser

chain = prompt | model | StrOutputParser(). What does the | operator build?

  1. AA bitwise OR of three objects
  2. BThree independent chains that run in parallel
  3. CA composed sequence of Runnables where each component's output becomes the next one's input
  4. DA shell pipeline running in a subprocess
Answers, scoring, hints, and the full battle stay sealed.
