I've come to realize that asking an LLM to do something that a purpose-built software program can already do is a mistake. Instead, the LLM must be an agent for that computer program.
Therefore, the correct prompt is "write a python program to count the number of letters in a word, and then use it to count the number of Rs in strawberry".
