Make LLM answer as a number (between min and max)

Usage

answer_as_numeric(
  prompt,

)

Arguments

prompt

A single string or a tidyprompt() object

min

(optional) Minimum value for the number

max

(optional) Maximum value for the number

add_instruction_to_prompt

(optional) Add instruction for replying as a number to the prompt text. Set to FALSE for debugging if extractions/ validations are working as expected (without instruction the answer should fail the validation function, initiating a retry)
